(CBSNY) — The New York Jets (2-7) face the Washington Redskins (1-8) this Sunday in a battle of dysfunctional franchises. Neither team is going anywhere this season, and that’s been obvious for awhile. They’re now racing each other to the bottom of the standings, which leads to the top of the NFL Draft board next offseason and, maybe, the top of the standings in future seasons. That’s the theory, anyway. With three playoff appearances this decade between them, the process has yet to actually play out that way.
The Jets opened their season with four losses, then stumbled through injuries and poor play to a couple of decent wins and way more unanswered questions.
