FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (AP) β The New York Jets have a good chance of being No. 1 β in the NFL draft.
At 2-11, they’re in the mix with Tennessee, Oakland, Tampa Bay and Jacksonville for the dubious distinction of having the NFL’s worst record.
So, with three games left, the race is on. Next Sunday could play a big part in deciding things with the Jets playing the Titans in Tennessee.
Rex Ryan can understand why some fans would prefer the Jets continue to lose to secure the best draft spot. But the coach insists he, his staff and players are focused only on winning the rest of the way.
The big question, though, is who will be doing the picking with the futures of Ryan and general manager John Idzik uncertain beyond Week 17.
