On Dec. 31, many across the tri-state area made New Year’s resolutions, some of which may already be broken. The only resolution New York Jets management made was to maintain their status quo.
As his players packed their gear several floors below, team CEO/Chairman Christopher Johnson met with reporters at Atlantic Health Training Center. Another brutal season on the Jets’ timeline had wrapped up one day prior, and Johnson was conducting a rare press conference. Johnson began his statements with promises of change, ones that had begun to be fulfilled the night before.
Hours after the Jets concluded their year with a 38-3 defeat at the hands of the New England Patriots, head coach Todd Bowles was let go after four seasons.
