The heat surrounding the Jets after Sunday’s rough loss to the Cowboys appeared to be enough to influence star cornerback Sauce Gardner to take a break from social media.
Gardner, whose Jets lost 30–10, raised eyebrows online by deleting his account on X (formerly Twitter) in the aftermath of the Week 2 loss.
While the exact reason for his decision is currently unclear, one of Gardner’s last posts indicates it may have been a response to the criticism he and his team faced over the performance of Ceedee Lamb. The star receiver finished with a game-high 11 receptions (on 11 targets) for 143 yards, a standout effort Gardner claimed he wasn’t at fault for.
