The Jets won by 16. Without that play they would have lost, you are correct.
Anyone can argue luck when you only look at the plays in which your argument receives benefit. For example: The Jets won in miraculous fashion due to the ineptitude of Houston's pass defense in the final minute (re: throw to Edwards at 5 yard line). 'OMG JETS R SO LUCKY R U F'N KIDDIN ME TEXAS'NS R SO STUPID WOWWWW' I could also say that the Patriots beat the Lions solely on the ineptitude of Alphonso Smith. Is that lucky? No, but if the Jets did it I'm sure it would be called as such.
Exactly how is finding a weak link in the defense and exploiting it lucky? The Pats beat the Lions by 21 points and outscored them 35 to 7 in second half. Did Smith throw two INTs to McCourty. I doubt anyone would call the Jets lucky if they won by 21 points and dominated like the Pars dis Weak rebuttal.
I don't think the Jets were lucky against the Bungles except for having them ontheir schedule. There are other games where the Jets were fortunate to get wins. I wouldn't say they were lucky.
