The NFL season does not begin for another three months, but the New York Jets have already made it clear that anything less than a Super Bowl championship will be viewed as a failure.
"I think it's about time we get it done and see this thing through because, after a while, people are going to start to look at it as a joke," Jets linebacker Bart Scott told ESPN's Sal Paolantonio.
Scott's comments echo the sentiments of Jets head coach Rex Ryan, who guaranteed a championship this past February for the second straight season. Ryan made a similar guarantee before last season, but the Jets failed to reach the Super Bowl, falling to the Pittsburgh Steelers in the AFC Championship after upsetting the Patriots in Foxboro in the divisional round.
The Jets will begin their title hunt on Sunday, Sept. 11, when then host the Dallas Cowboys.
