Fresh off a buzzer-beating win over the Dolphins in Week 14, New York traveled to Baltimore to take on the Ravens Thursday night. Things did not go Gang Green’s way, as Baltimore manhandled the Jets to the tune of a 42-21 blowout victory.

Considering the disparity between the two teams’ talent and health at this point in the season, the result comes as no shock. That doesn’t mean there’s nothing from Week 15 worth evaluating, though. With that being said, let’s take a look back at New York’s ninth loss of the season with four takeaways.

The Jets never had a chance

Nothing is ever a given in the NFL, but the way things played out in Baltimore on Thursday night is pretty much what everyone expected to see heading into the game.

Let’s face it. Given the current state of the team, the Jets didn’t have a chance against arguably the best team in the AFC. With eight starters sidelined due to injury, it would’ve been unrealistic to expect New York to come out and stop a Ravens offense that has dominated all season and a Baltimore defense that has had its way with opponents since Week 1.

Sometimes there’s simply nothing a team can do to emerge victoriously. That’s the position the Jets found themselves in against the Ravens.
