FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- The offensive numbers are ghastly: three games, 36 possessions, 172 plays and only one touchdown. It hasn't been this bad to start a season since, like, never.
In the 6o-year history of the New York Jets, this marks the first time they have had only one touchdown from scrimmage after three games, according to ESPN Stats & Information research. The previous low was two in 1976, when coach Lou Holtz -- straight out of the college ranks -- tried to install the veer offense with an old and wobbly-kneed Joe Namath at quarterback.
