. 4-12. Previous: . New York Jets. 31. team. 30

Recap: No doubt Todd Bowles’ team was still smarting from last Week’s 44-38 overtime loss to the Green Bay Packers in which the Jets owned a 35-20 lead.  Now the team made its way to Foxborough to take on the AFC East champion Patriots. The Green and White fell behind early and never caught up as the club was down 21-3 by intermission and never really challenged the reigning AFC East champions. Sam Darnold threw for only 167 yards and was sacked four times. And the rookie quarterback had one of the team’s three lost fumbles, his miscue returned 46 yards for a touchdown by Patriots’ linebacker Kyle Van Noy.

Draft Talk: Could the Jets be thinking wide receiver early in April’s draft? Pro Football Weekly’s Eric Edholm reported last Friday that the team had agreed to a four-year contract extension with wide receiver Quincy Enunwa. The team doesn’t have a second-round pick but does have a pair of selections in the third round.

Offseason Priorities: The team announced on Sunday night that it did indeed part ways with head coach Todd Bowles. It’s been a disappointing three-year run for the 2014 NFL Assistant Coach of the Year while with the Cardinals. Since finishing 10-6 in 2015, the Jets lost at least 11 games each of these past three seasons.

Next: No. 30
