30. New York Jets (3-5)

It truly is amazing that the Jets have three victories. First they can’t decide on who their quarterback will be after a disaster of a Monday Night Football game in Arizona. Then backup turned starting quarterback Geno Smith injures himself and is out for the season.

Ryan Fitzpatrick again becomes the starting quarterback. The Jets had a nice victory over the Baltimore Ravens in week seven. They followed that up last week with a win over the Cleveland Browns.

While the Jets have won two in a row, they need to start proving they can beat their division opponents. With Fitzpatrick behind center, it probably doesn’t happen for them in 2016.

The Jets also need to keep feeding running back Matt Forte the ball. Forte had 25 rushes for 82 yards against the Browns. While just a 3.3 per carry average, the Jets at least are showing they care about trying to win football games.
