JACKSONVILLE -- Short week, long week. Prime time, day time. Winless opponent, Super Bowl contender. None of it matters for the New York Jets. When you're bad, you're bad. Right now, the Jets resemble a team destined for 4-12.
That they lost to the Jacksonville Jaguars Sunday isn't headline news; the story is how they lost. They were outplayed and outcoached on both sides of the ball for a 31-12 loss at TIAA Bank Stadium. They showed a pulse with three takeaways in the second half, but let's be real: This season is getting away from the Jets (1-3), who have dropped three straight for the fifth time since 2016.
