New York Jets' 2020 season recap:
The Jets finished the 2020 season with a 2-14 record, which led to Coach Adam Gase losing his job. The team was under the leadership of veteran running-back and legend Frank Gore. Gore eclipsed the milestone of 16,000 rushing yards for his career, only trailing Emmitt Smith and Walter Payton all-time. However defensively, the Jets were bit by the injury bug as young stars Ashtyn Davis (safety) and Kenneth Murray (linebacker) saw their season cut short.
