26. New York Jets (0-1) – Play on MNF

As if things couldn’t get any worse for the New York Jets to start the 2018 season following a collapse against the Buffalo Bills in Week 1, the Jets will now be without their starting quarterback, Sam Darnold, for at least a month after the QB came down with mono.

That’s right, freakin’ mono.

Now the Jets get a hungry Cleveland Browns squad that got absolutely shelled in Week 1 by the Tennessee Titans. To add to their issues, the Jets will also be without C.J. Mosley and Quinnen Williams, both of whom have already been ruled out for Monday Night Football.

It was already hard to imagine the Jets keeping up with the Browns with Trevor Siemian behind center, but it’s even more difficult to imagine the Jets doing so without their two best defensive players.

Sadly for the Jets, this Monday night game has blowout written all over it, unless of course a miracle happens, like the Browns’ bus breaking down on the way to the stadium.
