Every losing team in the NFL can play the “what if” game.
What if this game or that game went a different way? What if this injury didn’t happen? What if a kick or a tackle was made?
But the 2024 Jets have had a remarkable “what if” season.
The Jets have lost six games they led in the fourth quarter. That is the most in franchise history and the most in the NFL this season. It feels almost impossible statistically. The Jets have been in all but two games this year — the 49ers and Cardinals beat them up. But they have invented ways to lose this season.
