The Jets defense has been playing terrible this season and the secondary has been the biggest struggle on the roster. They are able to get to the quarterback with the pass rush, but teams are still able to pass the ball all over them.
The San Diego Chargers and the Denver Broncos both just took apart their secondary. Every team that has played them has taken apart that secondary. Now they have to go up against Tom Brady and the New England Patriots this weekend. They have had a tough schedule to start out the season and it won’t get any easier until after the Patriots game. The team is barely holding it’s head above water at this point.
