A Supposed Renovation Reveals the Same Old Jets

The Jets had just stopped the Miami Dolphins in their tracks to give themselves a chance to rally from 8 points down with under seven minutes remaining in their showdown on Sunday. Starting deep in Jets territory, quarterback Sam Darnold lined up in the shotgun formation.

But before he could throw a pass, center Jonotthan Harrison snapped the ball past Darnold out of the end zone. The safety handed Miami another 2 points and all but sealed the game for the previously winless Dolphins, who won, 26-18.

Television cameras panned to Jets fans screaming at the team’s bench and another green-clad fan with a brown paper bag over his head.
