EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- Josh McCown committed a slapstick fumble that resembled the infamous Bubby Brister shovel pass in 1995. Same opponent, same result. McCown's teammates contributed to the loss with dumb penalties, a killer drop in the end zone and terrible punt coverage.
Yeah, you can blame the players for the New York Jets' 37-28 loss to the Carolina Panthers, but the coaches must bear responsibility, too -- specifically, offensive coordinator John Morton.
Trailing by a point at the start of the fourth quarter, the Jets drove to the Panthers' 1-yard line.
