Watching the Jets go 0-16 does not sound like a bad deal to a large majority of New York’s fanbase.

Ending 2020 without a win would land the Jets on the wrong side of football history and establish this year’s team as one of the worst in the history of the sport. Only five teams have gone winless throughout an entire season since 1944, and only two have gone 0-16. However, it would also afford New York the chance to change its trajectory with the No. 1 pick in the 2021 NFL draft — a pick that would likely net Trevor Lawrence.

The players in the locker room at One Jets Drive don’t care about that, though. They just want to get a win in the last three weeks of the season, and they’re not going down without a fight, per New York’s center.

“I don’t feel like anyone here is intentionally trying to lose,” Connor McGovern said Friday, per NorthJersey’s Andy Vasquez. “It hurts to lose. I don’t put my body through this – I don’t think anyone on the Jets puts their bodies through this – to lose. This game is too hard to do for a piece of paper and some money in the bank. You’ve got to love it to be great at this game and you’re not gonna love it if you’re trying to lose.”

With the Rams, Browns and Patriots left on New York’s schedule, it is entirely possible New York squandered its best chance of winning a game in 2020 when Henry Ruggs III burned Lamar Jackson for a game-winning touchdown with 13 seconds left against the Raiders in Week 13. Los Angeles, Cleveland and New England combine for a 24-15 record, with the Rams and Browns both sitting at 9-4 and destined for the postseason.

The Jets, meanwhile, are 0-13, fresh off a 40-3 drubbing at the hands of the Seahawks. They are 17-point underdogs vs. Los Angeles this weekend.

Even with the odds working against them, McGovern and his teammates will continue to chip away at an elusive first win.

“It might be easy for someone sitting on the couch eating pizza, chips and dip to say they should keep losing, but if they’ve ever strapped the pads on, that sounds like an impossible thing for me to do,” McGovern said. “So, I’m gonna do whatever I can do.”
