FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — A dismal Jets season came to a fitting end Sunday with a 38-3 defeat to the Patriots at Gillette Stadium.
The Jets were non-competitive in their final game under coach Todd Bowles, who will be fired after four seasons on the job. The Patriots controlled the game from start to finish, handing the Jets their ninth loss in their past 10 games.
The Jets finished the season 4-12, their worst record since 2014. They have lost 11 games or more three years in a row for the first time since 1975-77.
The Patriots (11-5) jumped took the lead when Tom Brady hit running back James White for a 17-yard touchdown with 5:16 left in the first quarter. The Patriots moved the ball easily against a depleted Jets secondary.
Starting cornerback Trumaine Johnson was benched after showing up late for meetings and practice this week.
