They kept it interesting for 12 games, which is more than anybody could've expected of the New York Jets, but now it's time to shift into 2018 mode.
Get ready, Bryce Petty.
You, too, Christian Hackenberg.
If Josh McCown's fractured left hand is a season-ending injury, as some in the organization fear, the Jets should use the opportunity (if you could call it that) to evaluate both young quarterbacks.
Yes, I said both Petty and Hackenberg. Why not? At 5-8, the Jets are on the verge of elimination, their schedule is brutal, and their leader could be finished.
