Are The Jets Really This Bad?

Good Morning! It was an action-packed Monday full of debuts and it looked like Zach Wilson's debut as a starter again 🤣 

Let’s take a closer look at all the stories in all the leagues.

Monday Night Football

LA Chargers ^_(4-4) 27 | New York Jets ^_(4-4) 6

🏈The Jets’ passing offense is apparently worse than the worst passing defense in the NFL. Zach Wilson took 8 sacks for 57 yards yesterday and he lost the ball to fumbles twice. Wilson isn’t playing great but his receivers are hardly getting any separation, even against the worst passing defense in the NFL.

🤯 Here’s a crazy stat. The Jets only have 8 offensive touchdowns through 8 games. It’s the 3rd fewest touchdowns through 8 games in NFL history.

🏈Check out the full box score and the full story here.

🏃 Arizona Cardinals’ QB Kyler Murray is likely to return to the field on Sunday vs the Atlanta Falcons. Murray tore his ACL in week 14 of last season.
