Believe it or not, it wasn’t all that long ago when the Jets were viewed by the sports books as a top 10 team to win the Super Bowl. In fact, they were ranked seventh in the NFL behind the Chiefs, Eagles, 49ers, Bills, Bengals and Cowboys prior to the start of the 2023 season.
Of those seven teams, only the Jets and Bengals missed the playoffs. The Bengals by one game with a record of 9-8 while the Jets finished up the season at 7-10.
Ravaged by injuries, the Jets season was realistically over as soon as it started.
