PHILADELPHIA -- They made lineup changes. They ran more plays in practice than usual. The coaches raised the decibel level at practice. They held a full-squad film session in which no one's feelings were spared. They said it would be different after the bye. A new season. A re-boot.
The New York Jets were wrong. Embarrassingly wrong.
Their 31-6 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday at Lincoln Financial Field was a new low for their historically bad offense, which needed a late gift from the Eagles (a muffed punt) to score its first touchdown since Week 1.
