In what seems like an eternity ago, the New York Jets were 10-6 just last season, only a touchdown drive against the Buffalo Bills short of a playoff spot. As if part of a cruel Shakespearean twist of fate, boisterous ex-Jets coach Rex Ryan led the Bills to that defensive stop that left New York fans utterly disappointed.
So naturally, coming into 2016, the team had high hopes after finally signing back quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick and star defensive end Muhammad Wilkerson, and in doing so, keeping that 10-win team mostly intact.
