Mahomes and Chiefs Steamroll Over Jets

 CHIEFS 35 - JETS 9 

Well those of you worried about betting on a 19.5 point spread, have no fear the Jets would not disappoint.  As expected the Jets were annihilated by the Kansas City Chiefs, Sunday to the tune of 35-9 as Patrick Mahomes tossed five touchdowns in the Chiefs victory. 

Mahomes was an unstoppable machine against the Jets pathetic defense. He completed 31 of 42 passes for 416 yards and even gave a piggyback ride to Tyreek Hill after the lanky wide receiver hauled in a 41-yard touchdown pass to give the Chiefs a 35-9 lead with 10:58 to go in the game. 

In short, the Chiefs toyed with the Jets. So much so that the Chiefs had three touchdowns in the bank and were losing the time of possession battle at halftime. That's pretty dominant don't you say? You bet. 

As for the Jets, it was more of the same offensively. Sam Darnold was a man on an island, fighting an uphill battle with nobody around him. He played well, at least in the first half, but the Jets couldn't get past the Chiefs 30-yard line all day, and had to settle for three Sergio Castillo field goals. 

At least Castillo looked good kicking the football until one was blocked before the half. Oh well. 

The Jets now stand at 0-8, starring at a still uncertain future. Next week New York faces the Patriots (2-5) who are in the midst of their worst start since the 2000 season, i.e. before Brady. It would be ironic if the Jets get their first win against them, but don't expect it. The 0-8 start is the first time the Jets have started a season that bad since 1996. The Jets would win their ninth game of the year that season in Arizona. This is a little different this time around. 

In his postgame press conference with reporters, Head Coach Adam Gase said that he "does this to win. Not to get my faced stomped on." Ouch, well I guess that's a good way to put it. 

Guess 0-16 it is. 

By the way, the Jets also completed a trade with the Pittsburgh Steelers, sending lineback Avery Williamson and a 2022 seventh round pick to the Steelers for a 2022 fifth rounder.

Jets, Dolphins and Patriots Playoff Breakdown

Here are the formuli that could get the Jets into and out of the playoff party this season: 1) If the Jets win against Seattle and Miami, they win the AFC East based on a better conference record (8-4) than the New England Patriots, even if New England wins out as well. 2) If the Patriots win out and the Dolphins win out and finish at 11-5, the Jets would be 10-6, or 9-7, and probably out of the playoffs. Both New England and Miami would make the playoffs, with the Dolphins as a divison winner and the Patriots as a wild card. The Patriots make the postseason if Baltimore loses one of its final two games. 3) If the Patriots win out and the Dolphins and Jets split, then the Patriots win the AFC East. The Jets will have to hope that they beat Miami to win that tie-breaker and, further, hope that they have a better conference record than the Baltimore Ravens in order to clinch the sixth seed. 4) If the Patriots and Ravens win out and the Dolphins and Jets split their final two games, then ...

Francisco Lindor Remains Red Hot as Mets Top Phillies

 Francisco Lindor remains the hottest player in Queens right now.  The Mets shortstop blasted two more home runs, including a three-run blast in the bottom of the eighth inning, Monday night to help propel the Mets to a 5-4 win over Philadelphia.   Lindor who typically struggles in the month of April is putting together a heck of a month. Monday's two hit effort was the 10th game in the last 11 where Lindor has recorded a hit. In fact in the month of April alone this year, Lindor was hitting at .311 coming into Monday's action.  On the year, Lindor is batting .284 with five homers and 13 RBI.  Lindor's efforts proved to be prophetic, as the Phillies Alec Bohm crushed a three-run bomb off Edwin Diaz in the top of the ninth to cut the Mets lead to a single run. Fortunately for New York, Diaz was able to shut the door with strikeouts of Trea Turner and Bryce Harper.  New York (16-7) has now won five in a row.

Mets Keep Rolling into Phillies Series

 The New York Mets are feeling pretty good about things right now!  The Amazin's swept a four game series from the St. Louis Cardinals on Sunday, winning 7-4 Sunday afternoon. It was the first time since 1986 that the Amazin's had swept such a series from St. Louis. We all know what happened later that season.    Well, not to get too far ahead of ourselves, because the 2025 version now faces a very stiff challenge. The Mets will face their arch rivals the Philadelphia Phillies on Monday with only two games separating the two teams in the NL East.  The Mets took out Philly in the NLDS last October, so this figures to be a heck of showdown. The Mets begin a month long stretch against teams that are likely postseason contenders like the Phillies, D-Backs, Cubs, Yankees, Red Sox, and Dodgers.  If the Mets (15-7) are this good, we will know for sure in a month.
