New quarterback, same pathetic result.

Joe Flacco got his first start as a Jet on Sunday but could not lead the team to its first victory of the season against the Cardinals. Arizona won a sleepy affair at MetLife Stadium 30-10, handing the Jets the latest embarrassment in a season that should have everyone with the team red-faced.

The loss drops the dismal Jets to 0-5. It is the third time in franchise history the team has lost its first five games. The team also started 0-5 in 1980 and in 1996. The Jets went 1-15 in 1996, the worst season in franchise history — a mark these Jets look like they will threaten.

“It’s definitely very frustrating,” linebacker Avery Williamson said. “We’ve been working our [butts] off all week and just not coming up on top. It’s tough. I can’t express how tough it is. It’s just one of those things that we haven’t been able to finish. We’ve got to figure it out. We’ve got to in a hurry.”

Searching for that first win on their schedule is not easy. The Jets are the worst team in football by far and have become everyone’s homecoming opponent.

Jets coach Adam Gase’s seat is not cooling off. His offense managed to score just one touchdown for the fourth time in five games. His team got stuffed on third-and-1 three times and once on fourth-and-1. The Jets punted twice on fourth-and-1 and once on fourth-and-2. The defense gave up 30 points for the fourth straight game as the Jets became the fourth team in the last 30 seasons to lose each of its first five games by multiple scores, according to ESPN Stats and Info.

After the game, Gase sounded exasperated and defeated after watching his team get pummeled again. He cited how well the team has practiced, the losing coach’s lament that drives fans crazy.

“We’ve got to go back to work,” Gase said. “We’ve got to learn from this film. We’ve got to figure out a way to play a full 60 minutes. We need all three phases playing well together. One side’s playing well, the other side’s not. Then we finally started getting something going and we fall apart on the other side. We’re just not giving ourselves a chance to be there in the end.”

Flacco got the start in place of Sam Darnold, who has a sprained AC joint in his right shoulder. Flacco did some good things, but not enough to carry the Jets. He finished 18 of 33 for 195 yards and one touchdown.

The touchdown came in the third quarter and gave a little hope. Flacco hit Jamison Crowder for an 11-yard touchdown that made it 17-10 and gave some brief belief they could come back. The Cardinals, though, ended that with a 10-play, 70-yard drive, running the ball right down the Jets’ throats. Unlike the Jets, the Cardinals converted a fourth-and-1 on the drive, a pretty pass from Kyler Murray to tight end Darrell Daniels. Kenyan Drake scored from the 1 to make it 24-10.

If there were fans in the seats, they would have been heading for the exits.

The Cardinals added one more touchdown to put a punctuation mark on the win. Murray found DeAndre Hopkins for a 37-yard touchdown with 8:42 left in the game to put Arizona up 30-10.

Murray set a career high with 380 passing yards. He also ran for 31 yards. The Cardinals had 500 total yards before losing a few when they took a knee at the end of the game.

The Flacco-led offense looked an awful lot like the Darnold-led offense early. The Jets went three-and-out on their first two series and punted on their first three. The first two punts came on fourth-and-1 and fourth-and-2 inside their own territory.

Those punts may have been on Gase’s mind in the second quarter when the Jets mounted a 14-play drive but stalled at the Cardinals 13. Gase went for it on fourth-and-1 but Le’Veon Bell was stuffed on fourth down by Cardinals linebacker De’Vondre Campbell to end the long drive with no points. That stop came after a third-and-1 handoff to fullback Trevon Wesco that was stuffed.

“It’s too much for us to overcome,” Gase said of failing to score in the red zone.

The Jets finally got on the board after Williamson intercepted Murray to give the offense the ball at the Arizona 10. The Jets took an inexcusable delay-of-game penalty on first down and came away with a field goal instead of a touchdown.

“We just haven’t been able to get out of our own way,” Flacco said. “At some point, we make a mistake that kind of kills the drive.”

After the NFL changed its schedule due to COVID-19 postponements, the Jets now head to Miami to play the Dolphins next week. The only question about the season now is whether they will wind up with the No. 1 pick in next spring’s draft and a shot at Clemson quarterback Trevor Lawrence.

The current players and coaches can’t worry about that, though. They have 11 miserable weeks left this season.

“We’ve played five weeks now and we haven’t won a game,” Flacco said. “I think you can guess what the level of frustration is in the locker room. That’s why this game is played at this level by grown men. We have to look at ourselves in the mirror and keep our heads up.”
