Week 10 of the NFL regular season not only shook football fans, but the ‘Tank for Tua’ rankings as well.
The Dolphins are on a win streak, the Bengals are still winless, the Patriots haven’t won a game in November and the 49ers lost their first game of the season.
All of the aforementioned events have changed the overall landscape of the NFL, let’s dive in and see how this crazy week affected the worst of the worst and if their chances of landing Alabama quarterback Tua Tagovailoa have been hindered.
3. New York Jets
The New York Jets in Week 10 were able to capture yet another win, this time over their in-state rival, the New York Football Giants.
They are tied for last place in the AFC East, tied with the Miami Dolphins at 2-7, and it seems as if the win column may stay stuck at two for the remainder of the regular season.
The NFL Power Rankings currently has them listed at No. 29, one of the worst teams in the league.
With an inconsistent quarterback, such as Sam Darnold, that ranking may fluctuate higher or lower.
In the Jets’ win over the Giants, Darnold had an impressive outing. He amassed 230 yards, one passing touchdown and a lone rushing touchdown.
While a win must feel nice for the team, it’s still clear a winning culture has not been spread throughout the locker room.
With a team full of talent, there’s only one position on the field to turn to and potentially point the finger. The quarterback.
Whether Darnold is the future of the franchise is still to be determined, but with a lot of elite collegiate talent at the quarterback position in this draft class, it would be hard to believe that the Jets’ front office hasn’t thought about the possibility of bringing in a fresh, and even younger, face, such as Tagovailoa.
