NY Jets: Implications of the worst loss in modern team history

The winless NY Jets (0-12) delivered with another all-time demoralizing moment.

Even for such a struggling, horrible, winless NY Jets team, this is as bad a loss as a team can take. It’s more than a “most bitter pill to swallow,” it’s as heartbreaking and crushing a defeat as it gets.

This was a game the franchise should have won. How long will this one take to recover from?

First, some upside. The Jets could almost taste victory. They battled back in a roller-coaster game, down 24-13 in the third quarter with the Raiders looking ready for a blowout, taking advantage of three costly Sam Darnold turnovers, and then Gang Green rebounded with 15 points in the fourth.
