Today’s Trivia:

“Black Monday” is the name given to the Monday following the conclusion of the NFL regular season. It’s called that because it is notorious for being the unofficial “firing day” in the NFL.

Yesterday’s Black Monday took 4 head coaches and 1 GM.

Hint:

It was this coach’s first season with this team

Fun Fact:

The Jets became the first team since 1933 to go an entire season without recording an interception.

For some perspective, the Jets allowed over 3600 passing yards this season. Back in ‘33, Harry Newman led the NFL in passing yards with 973 passing yards. It was a completely different game back then. The Bears had 23 interceptions! The Cowboys, 49ers, and Titans were all tied for the second least with 6 interceptions. Just wild.
