CINCINNATI – At least the Jets have no more winless teams left on their schedule. They also have no reason to talk about making a playoff run.
Those talks ended inside Paul Brown Stadium on Sunday afternoon, a place where opposing teams usually leave feeling good about themselves.
The Jets reverted back to some old, nasty early-season habits and were embarrassed, 22-6, by the previously winless Cincinnati Bengals.
Being a team’s first victim is nothing new for the Jets (4-8).
