0. Still the number of wins the New York Jets have since acquiring WR Davante Adams (2 games). Said another way, still the number of wins the New York Jets have since firing head coach Robert Saleh (3 games). Said yet another way, almost certainly the number of moves this sad-sack team has left to make in order to salvage its 2-6 season.
0. Still the number of points scored in the first quarter this season by the Philadelphia Eagles … though they only missed by 50 seconds Sunday in Cincinnati, notching a field goal on their opening drive. But hard to accomplish much out of the chute when the Bengals eat up more than 10 minutes to start the game.
0. The number of teams on bye – the first time since Week 4.
1. Number of “national holidays” devoted to a sport’s positional group. But “National Tight Ends Day” now falls on the fourth Sunday of every October. Unofficially begun in 2018, due to former San Francisco 49ers QB Jimmy Garoppolo’s appreciation of All-Pro TE George Kittle, it has also spawned the annual “Tight End University” held every offseason in Nashville under the sort-of-watchful eyes of Kittle, the Kansas City Chiefs’ Travis Kelce and retired former Pro Bowler Greg Olsen.
Happy #NationalTightEndsDay!
