NFL Notebook Week 9: MVP race, playoff picture, awards and more

‘We’re in the World of Suck Right Now.’
Doesn’t Kelvin Beachum‘s statement about the Jets in September accurately describe the Jets in November? Maybe my tweet sums up the Jets’ season better.
Maybe this disastrous interception more perfectly sums up the Jets instead?

Whatever representation suits you best, the message is clear: The Jets are in a bad situation. With one win to their name (a surprising victory over the Cowboys), it only gets worse for New York.
"“Let’s face it. Sam Darnold has no help, Le’Veon Bell was overpaid (even if he is very good) and Jamal Adams is not happy. New general manager Joe Douglas has no ties to Head Coach Adam Gase, who was a terrible hire from the start.” – Me, last week"
A week later, it’s clear just how putrid the situation is for the Jets. Head coach Adam Gase couldn’t muster a win against his former team, the Miami Dolphins, who were previously viewed as the worst team in the NFL.
New York is also averaging the fewest yards per game (223.5), the fewest points per game (12) and the second-most penalties per game (8.8). I would be shocked if Gase was still on the team next year.
As for Le’Veon Bell, Douglas has no ties to Bell, too. Then again, who would trade for an aging running back worth over $13 million annually? Unlike with Miami, the future looks bleak for the Jets.
