Two weeks into the 2020 season, the New York Jets are more or less removed from playoff contention.
It’s certainly foolhardy to eliminate a team from the NFL postseason in September, especially when playoff real estate increased by a spot in each conference. But the Jets (0-2) have done nothing to suggest they belong among the league’s contenders. The latest disaster, a 31-13 loss at the hands of the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday, didn’t even have the added luxury of a somewhat respectable final score like the 27-17 defeat in Buffalo provided on opening weekend.
“We haven’t shown progress,” linebacker Jordan Jenkins said, per Brian Costello of the New York Post.
