Jets outclassed again, looking old, slow and hopeless against top teams

PITTSBURGH -- Playoffs? As they say in Brooklyn, "Fuhgettaboutit!"

The New York Jets are who we thought they were: Not good enough to play with the big boys. For the third straight week, they were outclassed by a 2015 playoff team, this time falling Sunday to the Pittsburgh Steelers, 31-13, at Heinz Field.

Welcome to the first three-game losing streak of the Todd Bowles era. Under the current playoff format, only 6 percent of the teams that have started 1-4 rebounded to make the playoffs. Translation: It looks like six straight years out of the playoffs for the Jets.
