I suppose I could use the excuse the Browns lost because they had a game 4 days earlier and had to travel to Pittsburgh but maybe that's not big enough travel?? No, I do not buy the Jets had a game 4 days earlier excuse or that they had to get on a plane.

Putting aside the fact that the Jets were coming off their most devastating loss in the Rex era:

It’s time the NFL addresses the competitive disadvantage of teams making cross-country trips on short weeks. In the last 15 years there have been 13 instances where clubs that played Sunday traveled 1,500 miles or more for a Thursday night game. All 13 lost. That’s not a coincidence. It’s a trend. This year that group includes San Francisco, the Jets and Philadelphia, and enough’s enough. Level the playing field and stop this stupid practice.

0-13. Oh and Thirteen.
