Here’s a story about how Garrett Wilson, with a small act of kindness, brought some light to a 17-year-old fan who had just recently experienced the loss of her best friend. On their interaction after the Bears game, and what it meant to a grieving family: nytimes.com/athletic/7695017…

The Jets had: - A RB rush for 100 yards. - A WR go for 100 receiving yards. - A QB throw three TDs. - An offense gain 377 yards. - Four Red Zone drives on offense, and another that got to the 23 - A defense that held their opponent to seven points in the second half And they still lost to the 0-5 Dolphins.

There is no rock bottom as a fan. Only trap doors, sub basements, deep cavern systems, and vast unexplored subterranean misery. There is always more.

My takeaway from the Jets locker room today is that this feels like a group that's at a loss for words at this point. Not a lot of guys who had a whole lot to say.

Garrett Wilson asked if this loss was embarrassing: "I mean, I don’t know if I’m the judge, the law, of what’s embarrassing or not. We’ll see them again and that’ll feel good. We gotta go get it done when we see them again."

Jets get to the 0-yard line. Andrew Beck run. Loss of a yard. Braelon Allen run. Stuffed. Geno Smith takes a sack. Just awful.
