What the Jets can learn from one of their worst decades ever

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. -- A look at what's happening around the New York Jets:

1. Turning the calendar: Sunday marks the final game of the decade, a milestone that should elicit only one emotion: Good riddance.

The 2010s were bad for the Jets. The decade began with an 11-5 season and a trip to a second consecutive AFC Championship Game, and it ends with a meaningless game (at Buffalo, 1 p.m. ET, CBS) at the conclusion of a ninth straight season out of the playoffs. Maybe former coach Rex Ryan cursed the Jets by guaranteeing a Super Bowl before the 2011 campaign.
