FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- The New York Jets have managed only 56 points in the past five games. In The Year of Scoring, they're not. They will have no 1,000-yard rusher and no 1,000-yard receiver for the third straight year. You might as well call it a "no-ffense."
This isn't just a recent thing. The most recent Jets player to be named All-Pro at a skill position was running back Curtis Martin in 2004, the year he led the NFL in rushing. Sam Darnold was a 7-year-old beach boy at the time.
In three months, the Jets will have the opportunity to acquire a true difference-maker in his prime -- running back Le'Veon Bell, who almost certainly will be a free agent.
