The Jets are in Baltimore Thursday night to face the Ravens in a clash of two teams headed in opposite directions.
The Ravens, with an MVP candidate in Lamar Jackson and a defense that hasn’t allowed 20 points in five weeks, are 11-2 and poised for the first seed in the AFC playoffs. The Jets, meanwhile, were mathematically eliminated from earning a playoff berth despite a comeback win over the lifeless Dolphins.
An upset over the Ravens would be one of the most shocking stories of this season, but it will take a lot for this Jets team to deliver it. Besides the injuries, which continue to afflict the Jets, the offense looks inept even against the worst defenses and isn’t designed to compete in a shootout. Against the red-hot Ravens, they’ll need to score on almost every position to stay competitive in this game.
