Josh McCown was better but still not good enough to win for the Jets.
McCown was terrible in a 41-10 loss to the Bills on Nov. 11, his first start of the season. The quarterback did better Sunday in the 27-13 loss to the Patriots but threw a costly interception near the end of the first half that stopped any momentum the Jets’ boring offense was trying to muster.
Against the Bills, the veteran was 17-for-34 with zero touchdowns and two interceptions. In the matchup of old QBs against the legend known as Tom Brady, McCown, 39, threw the ball 45 times, completing 26 for 276 yards with one touchdown, a 16-yarder to Jermaine Kearse that actually gave the Jets a 7-0 lead.
