New York Jets Take Tumble in Latest NFL Power Rankings After Bills Loss
The New York Jets are paying for their three-game losing streak in Sports Illustrated’s most recent NFL power rankings.
The New York Jets have lost three straight games, the last of which came after dramatically re-making the coaching staff.
It made some difference, but not where it mattered, as the Jets (2-4) moved to No. 22 in On SI’s NFL power rankings released after Week 6’s games.
The Jets have already set about trying to give the offense more help. On Tuesday, New York finished off a trade to bring wide receiver Davante Adams in from Las Vegas.
The deal reunited him with Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers, as the pair played together for six years in Green Bay. Adams and Rodgers were highly productive together and he’s now the second former Packers receiver to join the team, along with Allen Lazard.
But is that enough to rescue the Jets’ season? Or is it just another part of the endless news cycle for this franchise.
After New York returned from London, where it lost to Minnesota, Jets owner Woody Johnson fired head coach Robert Saleh. He was 20-36 in three-plus years leading the franchise. Johnson said the moves was his “alone” and was done to give a roster he considered to be the “most talented” in his 25 years of ownership a chance to turn things around.
Jeff Ulbrich, the defensive coordinator, was elevated to interim head coach. Ulbrich, a 10-year veteran as a player, was hired by Saleh to coordinator the defense before the 2021 season.
His first order of business was to evaluate the offense, which has struggled mightily in the two games prior to Saleh’s firing, including one game without a touchdown.
