NFL Power Rankings, Week 4: Seahawks, Packers keep surging
By Randy Gurzi
Even before their Week 3 letdown, the rumor mill already suggested Adam Gase was on the hot seat. The New York Jets head coach wasn’t a popular hire but after going 7-9 despite losing Sam Darnold for three games in his first campaign, it seemed he was growing on some people.
Then, they came out and laid two eggs which led to reports that he was in danger. Kristian Dyer of SI.com’s Jets Country said the offensive-minded coach is hurting himself on that side of the ball.
"“On Sunday morning, Mortensen reported on ESPN that Jets management is carefully watching Gase’s performance with the Jets today at the Indianapolis Colts. The Jets, 0-2, have struggled to start the year and have been physically unimpressive on both sides of the ball. In addition, the playcalling on offense has been lackluster and unimaginative. That falls on Gase, whom Jets CEO Christopher Johnson called a ‘brilliant offensive mind’ two weeks ago.” — Dyer, Jets Country"
Now fresh off a 36-7 loss to the Indianapolis Colts, it’s hard to think Gase’s future won’t be a hot topic going forward. The Jets are sitting alone in last place in the AFC East and it doesn’t seem as though there’s any hope of things improving anytime soon. For that reason, they keep hanging out at the bottom of our 2020 NFL Power Rankings.
