Jets End Their Season With Zero Interceptions Or Dignity
There is no earthly reason for you to have kept tabs on the New York Jets in Week 18—normal people would have averted their eyes by Week 2—but the team made proper history on Sunday. Yesterday's 35-8 loss to the Buffalo Bills meant that the Jets went an entire season without picking off a passer—the first time this has happened since the NFL began recording interceptions in 1933.
Going 16 games without a pick and having to break the streak against Josh Allen would have been tough, except he wasn't the Jets' real challenge yesterday. (The Jets have plenty of challenges; foremost is being the Jets.) The Bills let Allen take one snap to preserve his streak of consecutive starts, then replaced him with backup QB Mitchell Trubisky, who proceeded to carve up the New York defense for 259 yards and four touchdowns on 22-of-29 passing. There was one play in the third quarter where linebacker Quincy Williams got his hand on a pass, except the hand was in a hard cast, and so the pick eluded him.
