"The only winless team in the league, the Jets check all the misery boxes. There have been devastating losses, starting with Chris Boswell nailing a 60-yard game-winner for the Steelers in Week 1. And there have been blowouts like Sunday's 37-22 defeat to the Cowboys, which was not nearly as close as the score suggests. The Jets' supposed strength, their defense, became the first 0-5 unit with zero takeaways in NFL history."
"Sure, it's easy to chalk up Baltimore's loss to Houston on Sunday to Lamar Jackson's absence. But 44-10 the worst home loss in team history is embarrassing and even a talent like Jackson isn't going to tip the scales if his defense, which in fairness has been blighted by injury, is godawful. Even worse, the Ravens defense hardly put up a fight against the Texans. It was a field day for CJ Stroud, Nick Chubb, and company."
The New York Jets are 0-5, suffering both narrow and lopsided losses while recording zero takeaways through five games. The Jets struggle with penalties, turnovers, poor offensive line play, lack of fourth-down execution and uninspired coaching, and their 14-season playoff drought continues. The Baltimore Ravens are 1-4 and suffered a 44-10 home loss, with Lamar Jackson absent and a defense hampered by injuries performing poorly. The Ravens defense allowed significant production from opposing offenses, but Jackson's likely return and a weak division plus a soft remaining schedule leave some hope despite sloppy team play.
