On a truly gross day in the greater East Rutherford area, the New York Jets lost a truly gross game to the Denver Broncos, 10-9. Aaron Rodgers was sacked five times as the Jets offense managed only 248 yards on the day— somehow much better than the Broncos, who put up merely 186 total yards. Despite that differential New York couldn't put points on the board and Greg Zuerlein missed a 50-yard field goal in the final minute to seal his team's defeat.
The Jets' biggest problem (besides the rain) on the day was the offensive line. Rodgers got hit a total of 14 times and never had much time to operate in the pocket. Most concerning was the line didn't seem in sync and got flagged for a whopping five false starts. After the loss head coach Robert Saleh said the team had to evaluate whether the offense was good enough for all the cadence and hard counts Rodgers enjoys.
