Jets’ only hope to squash Lamar Jackson’s revenge tour

Next up on the Lamar Jackson Revenge Tour: the Jets.

In his first 20 career starts, the Ravens’ second-year quarterback already has beaten the other three teams that drafted quarterbacks before he was taken in spot No. 32.

Now, the No. 3 pick Sam Darnold-led Jets could join the Browns (No. 1 Baker Mayfield), Bills (No. 7 Josh Allen) and Cardinals (No. 10 Josh Rosen), as well as the Dolphins with a traded Rosen coming off the bench in the game.

The only way for the Jets to avoid their seemingly sure fate against the NFL’s hottest team — winners of nine straight and owners of the NFL’s best record at 11-2 — might be to go punch-for-punch with Jackson.
