Lowly Jets Defense on Verge of Making Unfortunate NFL History

The New York Jets are stumbling to the finish line in what has been another wasted season. Aaron Glenn's first foray as a head coach has not yielded any type of meaningful success and there's been precious few reasons for optimism. Sunday brought a 42-10 drubbing at the hands of the New England Patriots—and it could have been much worse had Mike Vrabel really put his foot on the pedal. As has been the case all year, a toothless Jets defense was powerless to stop Drake Maye.

Entering Week 18, New York is surrendering 29.3 points per game, third worst in the NFL. The unit has come up with only four takeaways on the year, five fewer than anyone else in the league. And all of those have been fumble recoveries.
