Several teams had worse years than the Jets, but I don’t think anyone had a weirder year. Turned into a circus in the offseason by the media, the Jets lived up to the hype. Neither Mark Sanchez nor Tim Tebow led a touchdown drive all pre-season, but after a blowout win over the Bills week 1 and another win against the Dolphins week 3, this time in overtime, the Jets stood at 2-1. However, they suffered a major loss in that win, losing Darrelle Revis for the season.

Holmes didn’t play again the rest of the year.

Tim Tebow suffered through one of the most bizarre season a professional athlete can ever experience, as the New York Jets seemed more concern with selling his jersey than putting him on the football field.
