 The 2016 season began with high hopes, but a locker room altercation in Week 3, ineffective play by Fitzpatrick and the two other quarterbacks who started during the season, and key injuries led to a 5–11 record.There were rumors Bowles and Maccagnan would be fired; the Jets quickly announced their retention after a final-game victory versus the Bills.In 2017, the Jets were expected to be among the worst in the league, but did a little better than that, finishing 5–11, for the most part with Josh McCown at quarterback.
