Jets’ Luke Falk was doomed no matter what

PHILADELPHIA — In the depressing hush of the loser’s locker room after the Jets’ miserable 31-6 loss to the Eagles on Sunday at Lincoln Financial Field, Le’Veon Bell was asked how he thought Luke Falk played.

“Luke … he played to his ability,’’ the Jets running back said of the team’s third-string quarterback who was starting for the second consecutive game. “He did what he could. He was under a lot of pressure. Luke, I’m sure there’s a couple throws he would like to take back, but he was under a lot of pressure.’’

Bell was doing his best to be as nice as he could, but the truth is that Falk wasn’t very good, though he didn’t have a lot of help around him.
