The New York Jets’ Struggle Continues
Disappointing Loss to the Arizona Cardinals
The New York Jets are back at the panic stations after a 31-6 dismantling by the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday. They now hold a dismal 3-7 record going into a Week 11 matchup against the Indianapolis Colts at MetLife Stadium.
Back to Fundamentals
Interim head coach and defensive coordinator Jeff Ulbrich has gone "back to fundamentals and basics" with his team, even putting on a tackling presentation for the team on Wednesday. Ulbrich acknowledged that the team’s high expectations have been disappointing, but praised the team’s character and work ethic.
Defense Struggles
Gang Green’s one bright spark this season has been their defense, which ranks among the top 10 scoring defenses in the league with 21.4 ppg. However, it looked shaky last Sunday, allowing Kyler Murray to go on a rampage and collecting 266 yards for one touchdown and no interceptions.
Pass Rush Slows Down
The pass rush, which is third in the league with 32 sacks, slowed down as well, only getting hands on Murray once.
Aaron Rodgers’ Performance
On the other side of the field, Aaron Rodgers was drab against the Cardinals, throwing 151 yards, totaling 4.3 yards per attempt and 0-3 in the red zone. Although his protection hasn’t helped, he’s trying to be a part of the solution and get the team fixed.
Colts Struggle
The Colts have also struggled this season with a 4-6 record but sit second in the AFC South. They have gone five straight games scoring under 21 points, putting up 20 last week against the Bills but were 4-11 on third downs.
Anthony Richardson Takes Over
Two weeks with no action has apparently changed Anthony Richardson, as he has been confirmed as QB1 for their trip to the Big Apple. Richardson has been working hard to improve and is looking forward to the opportunity.
Conclusion
The Jets need a comeback win again to stave off the pressure and Ulbrich is fighting for his future coaching career amidst all the noise calling for a new head coach. The team needs to get reconnected to why they play the game and focus on pleasing themselves and their teammates.
