Time is running out on a win for the Jets — and also for Frank Gore's NFL career.
At 0-10, the Jets became the first team in the NFL to be eliminated from postseason contention in 2020, thus ending any kind of last-ditch miracle run to the playoffs and that elusive first Super Bowl in more than 50 years.
Gore realizes that time isn't on his side when it comes to a win in 2020, and also his NFL career — and he said as much on Sunday night.
"You don't want to go 0-16, especially if this is my last year," Gore said Sunday after the Jets' 34-28 loss to the Chargers. "I can't go out like that. Hopefully, we can get one. And I can't wait until we get it. I'll be so happy. If it is my last year, I can't say I'm going out 0-16."

Really, it's no surprise that Gore is thinking about hanging up the cleats: He has far outlived his NFL shelf life as a running back, finding the fountain of youth as a 37-year-old in the backfield while reuiniting with Adam Gase this season. It was a late signing, too, and Gore somehow beat out both Le'Veon Bell (well, he's gone now) and fourth-round pick La'Mical Perine to remain the No. 1 back on the team.
Gore has been OK, but not exactly deserving of that first-string label: Through 10 games, Gore has 447 yards rushing (3.6 yards per carry) and a touchdown. If his rate stats hold, he'll surpass his 2019 total of 599 yards on the ground.
The Jets' remaining schedule isn't friendly, either, if Gore is thinking about a W: New York plays the Dolphins, Raiders, Seahawks, Rams, Browns and Patriots, with New England the only sub-.500 team left on the docket.
So if Gore doesn't want to "go out" like this, then his only option might be to come back for another season.
