PHILADELPHIA — It was fourth-and-1 for the Jets from the Philadelphia 47-yard line on their second offensive possession Sunday and it might as well have been fourth-and-the-season.
Jets coach Adam Gase was going for it — and why not in this season that’s already been wrecked just a quarter of the way in?
Gase had Luke Falk, his third-string quarterback, backpedal to his right and throw a screen pass to the team’s best player, running back Le’Veon Bell, in the right flat. For a moment, it looked like a play that could work … and then all hell broke loose.
