Best-case scenario: They win one game but still land the top overall pick. This season has offered nothing but misery for Jets fans, and the Gregg Williams call at the end of that game versus the Raiders was the lowlight. Nobody wants to be associated with an 0-16 team. The best-case scenario for the Jets is to get one Sunday where the fans can enjoy a win and then look ahead to the next coach and the top pick in the draft.

Whoever told Lamar Jackson to let Henry Ruggs get behind him should be given a bonus. I am kidding. Yes, kidding. Then again, it's the Trevor Lawrence blown coverage.

Welp, even with defensive coordinator Gregg Williams' inevitable ouster finally a reality, two-time interim HC Joe Vitt remains on staff if Adam Gase doesn't make it to the finish line, either.

Person with most at stake: QB Sam Darnold

No, it's not head coach Adam Gase, because his ouster is thought to be a foregone conclusion. Darnold's future, however, is uncertain. He has four games to convince the front office he should be the 2021 starter, but that decision likely will be determined by draft position. If the Jets get the No. 1 pick, they almost certainly will take Trevor Lawrence, regardless of how Darnold plays. That said, Darnold could be playing to be another team's starter in 2021. -- Rich Cimini

No, the Jets aren't tanking. But Gregg Williams made the boneheaded call of the year when he sent the house at Derek Carr in the final seconds of Sunday's 31-28 loss to the Raiders. Carr stepped away from the pressure and floated a perfect 46-yard touchdown to Henry Ruggs III, who had toasted undrafted free-agent rookie Lamar Jackson with a double move. The play call cost Williams more than the game -- the Jets fired the defensive coordinator on Monday morning after close to two seasons with the team. If the doomed zero blitz becomes Williams' final call as a defensive coordinator in the NFL, he can at least tell people he stayed on brand until the very end.
