FLORHAM PARK, N.J. — Bryce Petty remains the New York Jets’ starting quarterback, and will be under center against the New England Patriots on Sunday.

Christian Hackenberg will be the backup, but Coach Todd Bowles has not ruled out the second-year quarterback’s seeing his first action in a regular-season game.

Bowles said “we’ll see” when asked if Hackenberg will see any playing time, or if the two quarterbacks might split time on Sunday.

CHIEFS: First-round draft pick Patrick Mahomes II will make his NFL debut at quarterback in an otherwise meaningless game against Denver on Sunday.

BROWNS: Hue Jackson doesn’t think the losing will include his job.

Cleveland’s beleaguered coach, who takes a 0-15 mark this season and 1-30 record over two years into Sunday’s finale at Pittsburgh, said Wednesday he has no doubt owner Jimmy Haslam will keep his word and keep him around in 2018.
