Jets suffer epic meltdown as Sam Darnold sputters in fourth quarter

CLEVELAND -- There are bad losses, and there are really bad losses -- the kind that stick to a team for years, even decades. The New York Jets have experienced a few of those. The Mud Bowl. The Mark Gastineau game in Cleveland. The Fake Spike. The Butt Fumble. And now there's another clunker that will torture their fan base.

After a dominant first half, the Jets were hypnotized by Baker Mayfield magic and suffered a kick-in-the-gut loss to the Cleveland Browns, 21-17, on Thursday night at FirstEnergy Field. It was the Browns' first win in 635 days, ending a 19-game winless streak.
