Misery Index · Despair
Jets fans are bequeathing this franchise to their unborn children like a curse, already mourning a season that died in.
The emotional rollercoaster
Fan misery across the game window. Up is worse.
What happened
A goal-line fumble by B.Allen on the opening drive set the tone, and from there it was T.Tagovailoa picking apart the secondary to D.Waller and J.Waddle while the Jets kept handing Miami the ball. J.Fields' 43-yard scramble briefly suggested a pulse, then I.Williams coughed up the ensuing kickoff and the math got ugly again. Three lost fumbles in a six-point loss isn't bad luck — it's a franchise reflex, and the fanbase already knows where this season is going.
