A quarter of the NFL's teams are looking for a new head coach right now, and that number might go up.
The Todd Bowles era in New York is over. The Jets officially fired their head coach on Sunday night, just hours after a 38-3 season-ending loss to the New England Patriots.
The New England Patriots claimed two victories in one game. Actually, it only took them about a half.
The team announced the multiyear deal Friday after its final full practice of the regular season.
Trumaine Johnson's tough first season with the New York Jets hit another rough patch.
Though we have not seen a trophy lifted in this town since the Giants won Super Bowl XLVI after the 2010 season, there were plenty of intriguing stories over the last 12 months.
Aaron Rodgers refused to sit this one out, even with the playoffs out of the question. And he willed the Green Bay Packers from setting some dubious franchise history.
The Los Angeles Chargers placed seven players in the Pro Bowl, including safety Derwin James, one of six rookies across the league to make the game.
Sam Darnold despised the thought of not playing. He was frustrated his injured right foot wouldn't let him.
Jamal Adams understands what the Jets' record shows: a 4-10 squad facing an uncertain future. He also refuses to accept that they are one of the NFL's worst, no matter what the standings or critics say.
After Darnold and Jets took their first lead of the game on Elijah McGuire's 2-yard touchdown run, Watson and the Texans (10-4) answered right back for good.
Crowell was hurt against Tennessee two weeks ago and re-injured his foot against Buffalo last Sunday.
Crowell is dealing with a toe ailment that kept him out of practice all week. Elijah McGuire, who is questionable with an ankle injury, and rookie Trenton Cannon are expected to replace him in the backfield.
The embattled Bowles appears likely to be among those looking for new jobs the day the NFL's regular season ends, if not sooner. That uncertainty has not affected the coach's approach.
The Jets hoped to see two things from rookie quarterback Sam Donald in his return from missing three games with a right foot injury: health and progress. Mission accomplished, with a victory thrown in.
