After all the strides Zach Wilson and the offense made late in the season, they ended it with an ugly performance that showed more regression than progression.
Wilson was sacked nine times and completed only seven passes in a 27-10 loss to the Bills on Sunday in Buffalo.
The Jets finished Robert Saleh’s first season as head coach with a 4-13 record. They missed the playoffs for the 11th consecutive year — the longest current streak in the NFL.
Saleh is confident that he has laid the foundation for that long playoff drought to end. Long-suffering Jets fans hope it happens next year.
