Jordan Jenkins wants nothing to do with a winless season.
His Jets are now 0-11 following Sunday’s 20-3 loss to the Dolphins. New York is five losses away from being the third team in NFL history (2008 Lions and 2017 Browns) to finish a season 0-16. Given the Jets’ remaining schedule, going 0-16 is a legitimate possibility.
Just don’t tell Jenkins that.
“That’s a thing that no player, no coach, no staff, ever wants to be a part of,” Jenkins said, per the New York Post’s Zach Braziller. “No one wants to go 0-16. That’s something nobody in this league wants to do. We have to keep fighting to [avoid] that.”
Jenkins has been through some tough seasons since being drafted by the Jets in 2016. He’s never been a part of a winning season with the Jets and they have a combined record of 21-53 since he’s been with them. Now the possibility of 0-16 is staring him in the face.
Jenkins is a free agent after this season and it’s hard to envision that he would want to come back to the Jets again. So if these are his final five games with New York, he doesn’t want to go out being part of one of the NFL’s worst teams ever.
