The NY Jets’ dreadful 2020 season has almost reached its miserable end.
After 13 straight losses to open the season, the NY Jets have pulled off back-to-back wins against formidable contenders. What took so long for Adam Gase to lose the Trevor Lawrence sweepstakes?
The most disturbing Jets question about this 23-16 victory over Cleveland is — why did it take until Game 31 of Gase’s tenure to see the creativity of a 43-yard wide receiver trick pass, a Darnold 30-yard touchdown pass, and a competent game by “unicorn” tight end Chris Herndon?
