Shame on the Jets.
Shame on them for losing, 10-9, to the mediocre and utterly beatable Broncos Sunday at MetLife Stadium.
The Jets, with the addition of Aaron Rodgers, fancy themselves contenders this season.
For a playoff berth, their first since 2010.
For an AFC East title, their first since 2002.
And possibly even for a Super Bowl, a first since … well, you know when.
On this day, though, the Jets were frauds.
And now, as reward for Sunday’s waste of a perfect opportunity to get to 3-1 for the first time since 2015, the Jets enter a gauntlet portion of their schedule — the 4-0 Sam Darnold-led Vikings next week in London, home to the Bills and then at the Steelers.
It’s not out of the realm of possibility that, sometime after Christmas, they may look back on this loss as one that derailed their season of promise.
