Bilal Powell (concussion) and Joe McKnight (ankle) both made the trip with the Jets to St. Louis, the team announced this afternoon.
The only Jets player on the active roster left behind was LB Marcus Dowtin, who was not injured.
If Powell and McKnight can both play, which seems likely, it will give the Jets a huge boost in the backfield after working with limited options over the last two weeks. Powell sustained the concussion last week against the Seahawks -- a game McKnight sat out to rest the lingering ankle injury. Source: Newark Star Ledger Attached Thumbnails

The “must” part is not arising from a fantasy that we are a far superior team to the Jets. There are no teams in this league that we outclass by a large margin. Instead, the “must” part of the win comes from how well this games sets up for...
