Jordan Jenkins says Jets are fighting winless record: ‘No one wants to go 0-16’

Jordan Jenkins is not in the business of having a winless season.

Jordan Jenkins wants nothing to do with a winless season.

His Jets are now 0-11 following Sunday’s 20-3 loss to the Dolphins. New York is five losses away from being the third team in NFL history (2008 Lions and 2017 Browns) to finish a season 0-16. Given the Jets’ remaining schedule, going 0-16 is a legitimate possibility.

Just don’t tell Jenkins that.

“That’s a thing that no player, no coach, no staff, ever wants to be a part of,” Jenkins said, per the New York Post’s Zach Braziller. “No one wants to go 0-16. That’s something nobody in this league wants to do. We have to keep fighting to [avoid] that.”

Jenkins has been through some tough seasons since being drafted by the Jets in 2016. He’s never been a part of a winning season with the Jets and they have a combined record of 21-53 since he’s been with them. Now the possibility of 0-16 is staring him in the face.

Jenkins is a free agent after this season and it’s hard to envision that he would want to come back to the Jets again. So if these are his final five games with New York, he doesn’t want to go out being part of one of the NFL’s worst teams ever.

Oakland won their third game in a row after a 17-10 defeat of the winless Bengals at home. Derek Carr was nearly perfect throwing the ball. He completed 25 of 29 passes for 292 yards, one touchdown, and one interception. Three wide receivers had over 60 yards, including Tyrell Williams, who led the team with four catches and 82 yards. Rookie Josh Jacobs continued to dazzle on the ground with his fourth 100+ yard game of the season to bring his total to 923 yards, fourth best in the NFL.

The defense wasn’t exactly tested against the Bengals and if you asked most people three weeks ago, they wouldn’t be too concerned about the Jets. However, this is an offense that has seen a rejuvenated Sam Darnold and the team has put up 34 points in back-to-back games. Oakland’s defense ranks 27th in passing yards allowed, so don’t expect it to be a walk in the park for the team on Sunday.

It wasn’t long ago the Jets were mentioned in the same sentence as the Bengals, Dolphins, Redskins, and Giants. However, they have won their last two games, including a 34-17 win over Washington on the road. Yes, their prior win before that was against the Giants, but the offense is finally scoring points and that’s always a good sign. Sam Darnold threw for 293 yards, four touchdowns, and one interception. Le’Veon Bell and Bilal Powell combined for 101 yards and another score. Ryan Griffin led the team with 109 yards receiving and a touchdown.

While the Jets offense is working its way up from the bottom of the NFL rankings, the defense continues to be a bright spot. The unit is ranked 13th in yards allowed (332.4) and first in rush defense (79.1). Against Washington, they racked up six sacks and recorded one interception. James Burgess notched nine tackles and half of a sack, while Jamal Adams picked up three sacks to go with his four tackles in the game. If this group can limit Josh Jacobs and the run game, it has a chance to pull out the win.
