With the New York Jets, it always can get worse. The team knows how to redefine the term “rock bottom.”
After a disappointing 1-4 start, New York had a much-needed bye week. The week off reinjected hope into the fanbase, which timidly believed the Jets could surprise the Patriots and snap a 10-year losing streak in Foxborough.
The result, though, couldn’t be predicted even by the most pessimistic Jets fan: a 54-13 blowout coupled with an injury to franchise quarterback Zach Wilson that will sideline him for multiple weeks.
Robert Saleh’s squad is now 1-5 and is bound to start inexperienced quarterback Mike White for at least the next two games.
