Jets haven’t won 4 consecutive since 2015

Cupcake schedule or not, the Jets have the chance to do something they haven’t done since Dec. 19, 2015: win four consecutive games. Though the game is potentially meaningless (the Jets have less than a 1 percent chance of making the playoffs) it would be a great morale boost for Adam Gase’s squad to keep winning.

In a way, the 2015 Jets share a lot of similarities with the 2019 Jets. Both feature a first-year head coach (Todd Bowles and Gase) and built momentum with a string of wins in the second half of the season. The 2015 Jets won five consecutive games after a 5-5 start to the season but failed to make the playoffs after a Week 17 to the Bills.
