A shipment of energy drinks for Chris Ivory: The Jets need him to stay healthy and fresh because, quite simply, he’s the key to the stretch run. When Ivory gets at least 20 carries in a game, the Jets are 4-0. When he’s under 20 carries, they’re 1-4. (He missed one game because of injury.) Ivory is only 34 carries shy of his career high for a season (198), so soon he will be in uncharted territory. His physical style of running takes a toll on his body, but he can’t afford any slippage. The Jets need him to take the pressure off QB Ryan Fitzpatrick, who's at his best when he’s throwing less than 35 times per game.

A DVD of the most recent “Bonnie & Clyde” movie: This is a gift for the defense. Why? Because it needs to be reminded of how great thieves operate. So much of the Jets’ success is predicated on stealing the football. Sometimes they’re very good, sometimes they’re very bad. In their five wins, the Jets have 18 takeaways -- impressive. In their five losses, they have only three. Takeaways are paramount for the Jets because of their style of play. The offense, which lacks explosiveness, functions best when it’s operating on a short field. It’s up to the defense to provide that; it’s called complementary football. So sit back, have some popcorn and enjoy the movie, fellas.

A sequel to the Wells report: The Jets could use some unexpected, incriminating evidence to emerge regarding Tom Brady and Deflategate. A secret witness, perhaps? The way Brady is playing, dismantling opponents with his better-than-ever passing, the Jets have no shot in the AFC. The same probably could be said for every team in the conference. The Jets host the Patriots on Dec. 27 in what figures to be a massively important game for New York's playoff hopes. The ideal Christmas gift would be a start by Jimmy Garoppolo. Impossible, you say? Probably, but the Jets can always wish for a Christmas miracle.
