The Jets (7-8), losers in their last three games after establishing a 7-5 record, have proved throughout the season that they are completely unpredictable.

The Jets proved gritty and hungry and took a big lead in the series.

But the Jets committed five penalties in the first half alone and yet another one early in the final period proved costly.

And as the Jets have proved thus far this season, when they get into overtime, anything can happen.

It was at center and left guard last year that that the Jets proved vulnerable too often.

So the Jets can prove themselves, as well as keep their season from slipping away.

Unfortunately, the Jets have been proving themselves and learning lessons for 35 years.

But as the Jets have proven three weeks in a row, nothing is certain.

The Jets have proved very effective in the turnover department.

Strange stuff does happen in games; the Jets and Bears proved that.
