One of the key moments of Sunday’s loss to the Bengals for the Jets was the wide-open touchdown allowed to Bengals wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase early in the third quarter. On the play, there seemed to be some miscommunication between Sauce Gardner, Quincy Williams and Lamarcus Joyner as to who had the flat and whether Gardner had safety help.
Williams and Gardner both took Bengals running back Joe Mixon in the flat while Joyner took to the middle of the field, almost helping with Jordan Whitehead. No one took Chase. There was a lot of confusion.
