NFL Power Rankings, Week 14: Ravens perched atop AFC, Packers bounce back
By Dan Parzych
22. New York Jets (18)
No one wants to be the team that allows a winless team to earn their first victory this late in the season, but unfortunately this was exactly the case for the New York Jets after falling to the Cincinnati Bengals.
After winning their third game in a row during Week 12 by blowing out the Oakland Raiders, a meeting with the Bengals seemed like the perfect opportunity to extend that winning streak to four games.
Instead, New York looked absolutely awful during Sunday’s loss to Cincinnati, as the offense failed to even score a single touchdown.
One could make the argument this loss really isn’t that big of a deal since the Jets were already a long shot to make a late run at the playoffs, but it was still disappointing to see these results after their previous success.
Sam Darnold was certainly building up his confidence in recent weeks, but after Sunday’s results, the pressure is on even more for the USC product to finish December on a high note to give fans something to look forward to in 2020.
