The New York Jets’ season hasn’t turned out as planned, but the team will make significant history on Sunday.

For as much as the franchise has struggled at the quarterback position for decades since Joe Namath, the Jets haven’t started an undrafted free agent at quarterback since 1975. That will change in Week 15 when undrafted free agent Brady Cook will get to start against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
