FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (AP) — Don’t let anyone tell you New York Jets fans aren’t loyal.

Not when 7,500 of them turned out on a Saturday morning to give coach Rex Ryan’s crew one last boost before leaving for Pittsburgh.

It was early. It was freezing. It didn’t matter.

The Jets held a raucous rally from 9 a.m. until noon at their training facility. General manager Mike Tannenbaum spoke, as did New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and superfan Fireman Ed.

The Jets (13-5) meet the Steelers (13-4) in the AFC Championship game on Sunday.
