NEW ORLEANS — The Jets added to their list of horrendous penalties Sunday with two penalties for having 12 men on the field.

The first came in the opening quarter when they were flagged for an illegal substitution for having 12 men in the huddle. Then in the second quarter, they lined up with 12 players and were flagged.

“It should not happen,” Jets coach Todd Bowles said. “It wasn’t good from the sideline from the coaches or the players standpoint.”

It continues a trend for the Jets this season of committing horrific penalties. The second call was even harder to believe because it came on the first play of a drive. It was not like there was a substitution issue. They had 12 men run onto the field at the start of the drive.

“It’s stupid penalties,” running back Matt Forte said. “It’s Week 15. That’s the type of stuff that shouldn’t be happening. We’ve got to get the right personnel in there and the right people in and out of the huddle and whatever play we’re going with.”

Muhammad Wilkerson may have played his final game as a Jet. After being left at home for Sunday’s game against the Saints for being late, Wilkerson may now be deactivated for the rest of the season. Bowles did not answer the question when asked after the game if Wilkerson will practice with the team this week.

“We’re dealing with that as an internal matter,” Bowles said. “I can let you know later on.”

When Bowles made Darron Lee inactive against the Chiefs earlier this month, Bowles quickly said Lee would return the following week.

The Jets may be fed up with Wilkerson. They also have a financial incentive to sit Wilkerson. If he gets injured, his $16.75 million salary in 2018 is guaranteed. The Jets could cut a healthy Wilkerson this winter and save at least $11 million in salary-cap space.

Saints defensive end Cameron Jordan had four tipped passes in the game, including one on a two-point conversion attempt.

“It was like Dikembe Mutombo or something, playing D-end,” Saints quarterback Drew Brees said. “It was pretty awesome. Listen, those are game-changers. No bigger one than the two-point conversion. That was a huge play.”

Leonard Williams suffered a concussion in the second half. … The Jets had just one quarterback hit in the game, from Xavier Cooper. … The Jets’ playoff drought of seven years is the third-longest in franchise history and the longest since the 11-season drought of 1970-80.
