Week 16 NFL Power Rankings

Julian Edelamn

27. New York Jets (LW: 30)

Of course they’d win that game. Not any of the games played between mid-September and Halloween. Not anything that might actually make this season a salvageable affair. No, instead of winning games that actually matter to the team’s chances to not become a laughingstock of the league – a notion that has long since passed – the Jets win arguably the game that will push them out of the running for Marcus Mariota in next year’s draft. Granted, the current regime of Jets personnel does not care about this – although, with how sickeningly poor they played, even that is debatable – but the team has proven to be one of the worst in the league, and won’t even reap the benefits of doing so.
