The Jets clinched their 30th losing season in 61 years

Outlasted by the New England Patriots in a surprisingly entertaining Monday night game, the Jets -- 30-27 losers at MetLife Stadium -- fell to 0-9 for the first time.

A franchise known for its losing moments -- the Butt Fumble, the Rich Kotite era, Dan Marino's Fake Spike, the "Heidi" Game, et al -- has added a new low to its inglorious past.

The Jets clinched their 30th losing season in 61 years, including a current streak of five in a row. There was only one other 0-8 start, in 1996, but they managed a win before finishing 1-15.

Eye-popping NextGen Stat: Flacco's 20-yard touchdown pass to Crowder had a completion probability of just 6.2% -- the most improbable completion of the season.

1. So, they're a lock for first pick then?

'Cause that's the goal of a record this bad.

2. Not just yet. They COULD actually lose that too.

Dallas the Giants and Jacksonville all have 7 losses.

Yes the NYC football teams are a combined 2-16 this year.

4. The Jets are 0-9 though

The are a historically bad team of epic proportions. 0-16 might happen.

3. Try being a Lions fan

In the Superbowl era they've won 1 playoff game.

5. When you drive by the Meadowlands and smell that odor it's likely the jets.
