The Jets had just walked off the field after a dispiriting 13-6 loss to the Dolphins, and left tackle Kelvin Beachum went to his locker and sat . . . and sat . . . and sat.
For the better part of 15 minutes, he stared straight ahead, running through a game in which the Jets’ offense produced just two field goals and ruined a brilliant effort by the defense, which also surrendered only six points. The only touchdown came off a pick-6 on one of Sam Darnold’s four interceptions.
Equipment staffers busily cleaned up the grass- and sweat-stained uniforms of the other players.
