CINCINNATI (CBSNewYork/AP) — Le’Veon Bell’s 23-yard run was wiped out by a holding penalty. Bilal Powell’s 23-yard gain off a screen pass was called back because of an illegal block. Every time the Jets seemed to be getting momentum, a flag flew and they were back to square one.
New York’s high-scoring offense repeatedly tripped itself up during a 22-6 loss to the previously winless Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday, leaving the Jets with some dubious NFL history. Combined with their loss to the Dolphins, they’re the first team to drop games to a pair of opponents that were 0-7 or worse in one season.
