NFL teams that still have a chance to go 0-16:

New York Jets

I was concerned about this game: as it turns out, probably rightfully so. It sounds like the Raiders pulled this one out at the last minute.

Next week: Seattle in Seattle. I’m feeling good about this one.

(Edited to add: Sorry about the weirdness with this. I started a draft of this in advance, published it this morning because I was distracted yesterday afternoon, but WordPress for some reason published this with a date of December 5th.)

NFL teams that still have a chance to go 0-16:

New York Jets

Down to one team after six weeks. I thought this was fairly rare, but it actually happened in 2016. And in 2015 and 2012, we had no losers at this point in the season.

Are the Jests bad enough to pull this off? My optimism is fading.

In related loser and sports firings news, having started the season 0-4, the Houston Texans have fired Bill O’Brien.

O’Brien, who went 52-48 in six-plus seasons with the franchise, led the Texans to four AFC South titles including each of the past two seasons, but hasn’t won a game since a come-from-behind playoff win over the Buffalo Bills last season. That was followed by the Texans blowing a 24-0 lead to the Chiefs in the second round of the playoffs. The Texans haven’t won a game since.

You know, I’m liking the chances for someone to go 0-16 this year. Not necessarily the Texans, but one of these four teams.
