The Jets have now lost six of their last seven games and their season is going down in flames. Their latest debacle took place Sunday afternoon in the Arizona desert against star quarterback Kyler Murray and the first-place Cardinals. Murray threw for 266 yards and a touchdown. He ran for two touchdowns as well and Arizona humiliated the Jets 31-6. The Jets record is now 3-7.

New York finished the game with two made field goals and quarterback Aaron Rodgers threw for just 153 yards. “It’s been a lot of emotions this year for sure,” Rodgers said after the game. “I thought after a big win Thursday night (the Jets previous game), nice long week, we were going to come with a lot of energy and win the game, and we didn’t come out with great energy on either side of the ball and offensively you’re not going to beat anybody scoring six points. They played really good on defense, we didn’t score seven in the red zone, I missed a couple of throws for sure and situationally we were just really bad.” The Jets play again this Sunday at home against the Indianapolis Colts (4-6) who lost to the Buffalo Bills (8-2)at home 30-20.
