Jets Show Zero Effort in Todd Bowles Final Game as Coach

PATRIOTS 38 - JETS 3 

Want to send someone out right? Try not getting incinerated. That is exactly what happened to the Jets on Sunday as they were flat out dominated by the New England Patriots 38-3 in a lopsided loss that was both emblematic of a 4-12 season, but a perfect example of the Todd Bowles era in New York.

The Jets had no shot from the word go. If you got a screen shot of the scoreboard before kick-off that was as close as the Jets would get in this game.

As he has done throughout his 19-year career, Tom Brady tore apart the Jets , tossing four touchdowns on 250 yards passing as New England improved to 30-1 against AFC East opponents at home in their last 31 attempts.

It didn't take long for New England to set the tone as Brady engineered a nine-play 59-yard drive that ate up five minutes, culminating in a six-yard touchdown pass from Brady to Phillip Dorsett to give the Pats a 7-0 lead.

After the Jets answered with a field goal, Brady marched the Patriots again on a lengthy scoring drive, picking apart the Jets with short precise throws, before Rex Burkhead caught an 18-yard screen from Brady for the score to push the Pats lead to 11.

The Patriots put the game away courtesy of a fumble of Jets running back Elijah McGuire at New York's own 25-yard line. The Patriots wasted no time putting the ball into the end zone when Brady found Dorsett again, this time form nine yards out to give the Patriots a 21-3 advantage.

With the loss the Jets finish the season at 4-12. Todd Bowles' career as Jets coach ends with a record of 24 wins and 40 losses. The Jets announced they would fire him after the game, and the official announcement is expected by Monday morning.

The Jets need to find a coach who can light a charge into this team, and instill discipline into a football team that greatly lacks it.

Let the coaching rumors begin to heat up.
