By all accounts, New Yorkers only filled half of MetLife Stadium for Sunday's tilt against the New England Patriots, but the Jets probably would have preferred one fan who did show up had stayed home.
Probably not too pleased with his last-place team's 3-11 record this season, a Jets fan wore a jersey with the phrase "dying inside" written on the back — naturally above the No. 69 to keep it ultra classy.
Jets fans have found creative ways to voice their frustration all year, raising thousands to post a billboard in favor of firing general manager John Idzik, flying a "rebuilding since 1969" banner above the stadium and sending depressing Christmas cards reading, "We hope your team does not disappoint you these holidays."
Chasing the Oakland Raiders and Tennessee Titans for the league's worst record and the No. 1 overall pick, the Jets rewarded this fan by taking a 10-7 lead against the rival Patriots into halftime. Dying inside, indeed.
