Enunwa: Pats look ‘vulnerable’

The Jets haven’t made the Super Bowl since Lyndon Johnson’s final days in office and have one winning season in the past seven years.

But Jets wide receiver Quincy Enunwa thinks they can take down the NFL’s greatest dynasty.

Though the Jets are coming off back-to-back 5-11 seasons, Enunwa said he believes they are “capable” of preventing the Patriots from winning another AFC East championship, describing the team that has won an NFL-record nine straight division titles and reached three of the past four Super Bowls as “vulnerable,” during Friday’s appearance on CBS Sports Radio’s “Tiki and Tierney” show.

The next day, on Sirius XM NFL radio, Enunwa slightly hedged his comments — “Obviously, I just wanted to agree [with the hosts]” — before circling back to what he truly believes.

“I think they may be [vulnerable], but I also think that we’re capable of finally dethroning them,” Enunwa said Saturday. “I think that we’ve always been. It’s just about getting over that hump of finishing games. Not to add more bulletin-board material for them, but I think for us, we’re hyper-confident and believe that we can do that.”

While the Patriots have won the AFC East in all but two seasons since Tom Brady became the starting quarterback in 2001, the Jets most recently won the division in 2002, marking one of their only two first-place finishes since 1970. The Patriots have won 12 of their past 14 games against the Jets, including four straight, with Todd Bowles winning just one of six games against Bill Belichick.

And while New England will return with the greatest quarterback of all time, the Jets aren’t certain who will be starting under center next season.

It could easily be veteran Josh McCown, or even Teddy Bridgewater, but Enunwa already has begun thinking about when he’ll line up alongside third-overall pick Sam Darnold.

“I’m excited to play with him and help out getting him acclimated to the team and league,” Enunwa said. “I think it’s my job to make sure I’m making the plays I need to make and going where I need to be because it’s important for him to have confidence that his wide receivers are going to be where he needs them to be at.”
