The New York Jets lost Sunday's contest against the New England Patriots with a final score of 22-17, ending the team's four-game winning streak in Week 8.

No matter how you slice it, this is an ugly situation for all parties involved. This year has already been difficult enough for Saleh and the Jets after the loss of their star rookie running back Breece Hall to an ACL injury, but despite the loss on Sunday, the Jets are still a 5-3 team firmly in the AFC East division race. So is the Elijah Moore trade situation settled? Even if he does stay on the team, will Moore's presence draw further distraction?
