The New York Jets showed on Monday night exactly why they entered their game against the New England Patriots winless this season.
The Patriots had a 4th-and-5 at the Jets 14 with 8:37 left on Monday and were lining up for a field goal down 27-17. The Jets had 12 players on the field for the kick and got flagged for a penalty.

The five-yard penalty gave New England a new set of downs, though they ended up in the same situation anyway and kicked a 29-yard field goal to make it 27-20.
Even though the penalty didn’t hurt the Jets worse on the scoreboard, those are the kinds of inexcusable mistakes that reflects poorly on a coaching staff and keeps a team winless.
