<article id="article-body" class="article article-main-body article-content" itemprop="articleBody" data-use-autolinker="true" data-component="["resize"]" style="font-size: 16px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; margin: 30px 20px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font-family: proxima-nova, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; caret-color: rgb(35, 35, 35); color: rgb(35, 35, 35);">The New York Jets, who were in the running as the NFL's worst team just last week, defeated the New York Giants and may have taken themselves out of the race for the No. 1 pick in the 2020 draft. That's just fine for quarterback Sam Darnold, who has much bigger aspirations for a Jets franchise that was supposed to take the next step in Year Two with him as the franchise signal caller but lost seven of eight games to open the season.
"We need every win from now on because we've still got a chance. I mean, if we get on a roll here and we win out, we've got a chance at the playoffs," Darnold said, via SportsNet New York. "Guys in this locker room know this. They know that, and we're just really excited to continue to get back to work."
The Jets have just a 2-7 record, so Darnold is certainly stretching the limits regarding the team's playoff chances. New York's wins are at home against the Dallas Cowboys (5-4) and the New York Giants (2-8), losing all their matchups against teams not in the NFC East (0-6) including giving the Miami Dolphins their first win of the season just a week ago. If the Jets would have defeated the Dolphins (a team that is allegedly trying to lose games), they would be sitting at 3-6 ... with an outside chance at making the playoffs.
