The Jets did not get the memo that their bye week was over.
New York got off to its worst start of the season, which is saying something considering it has yet to score a single point in the first quarter. Yet the Jets allowed a Patriots offense that entered averaging 20.8 points per game to score 31 in the first half. That was more than enough for New England to complete the season sweep with a dominant 54-13 win.
Nothing went right for the Jets in Week 8. Robert Saleh’s team slept walk out of the gate after a week’s worth of talk about how they supposedly had a plan in place to avoid slow starts. Zach Wilson went down with a knee injury in the second quarter and did not return. That left Mike White to work under center in a game that was over shortly after the opening kickoff.
