Jets wide receiver Brandon Marshall became the first receiver in NFL history with six 100-catch seasons when he crossed the plateau in last Sunday’s victory over the Patriots.

All of those catches this year have been a big reason why the Jets are in position to make the playoffs with a victory this weekend. If they can do it, it would be the first time that Marshall has been on a team that’s advanced to the postseason and he shared his excitement after Phil Simms described the feeling of playing in a first playoff game on Showtime’s Inside the NFL.

“I can’t imagine; I can’t imagine,” Marshall said, via NJ.com. “I had goosebumps before [the win over the Patriots]. And I’m sure I’ll have goose bumps again for this game against Buffalo. It’s a big division rivalry game. Obviously, we understand the implications attached to it. If we win, we are in. I just have to stay focused. But if we get in, I can’t imagine what you are talking about [to Phil]. It’ll be a dream come true.”

A playoff trip would also be a new experience for quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick, who joins Marshall as one of the prime drivers of the Jets’ 10-5 record this season. Another strong week for both would go a long way toward allowing them to do more than imagine what life is like in the postseason.
