Good morning. I'm Steve Inskeep. The New York Jets lost their pro football game over the weekend but got some encouragement. The singer Gladys Knight showed up late for the game, and as soon as she did, the Jets scored. She later called into the weekly radio show of coach Todd Bowles. And she says if the Jets make the Super Bowl, she will sing for him in person.

(SOUNDBITE OF SONG, "MIDNIGHT TRAIN TO GEORGIA")

GLADYS KNIGHT: (Singing) Oh, on that midnight train to Georgia.
