Our penultimate active team on this countdown, and a serious contender to break into the top 10 one day, it’s your current New York Jets!
The Jets are building up quite the resume of terribleness, balanced in all aspects of it. This isn’t a team that’s being driven just by being below average for a long time, or just having poor play; they excel in all aspects we’re grading here as we try to find the worst teams of all time. There are six factors that go into the “Z-Score” that produces our final rankings. The Jets are one of eight teams to have a positive score in all six categories – a true, across-the-board example of terribleness, even before you get into the subjective things like terrible ownership and era-defining bloopers.
