Where was the energy?

Arguably the biggest reason why the Jets were able to string together three consecutive wins was the energy they brought to the field on a weekly basis.

For whatever reason, that energy was simply not there against the Bengals. Jamal Adams, the team’s emotional leader, was flat and seemed disinterested. The rest of the team followed suit and turned in an uninspired performance.

It’s tough to get up for an 0-11 team, but the desire to continue the winning streak and any lingering hope for a postseason push should’ve been enough to get the Jets hyped up for this one. Instead, it looked like New York wanted to be anywhere other than Cincinnati on Sunday.
