Uniform number games: Much-needed excuses for NY Jets’ Week 1 loss

Nobody likes a sore loser; the game’s over. Move on.

Although, when a loss happens to come at the hands of your team’s ex-quarterback … well, that changes things.

Sunday’s five-point loss to Sam Darnold and the Carolina Panthers certainly cuts a little deeper than the typical loss for New York Jets fans. But on the bright side, the game never felt as though it was truly out of reach, a feeling fans grew accustomed to under the previous coaching regime.

The Jets never seemed to give up and went down fighting until the end.
