New York Jets: 3 Biggest duds from Week 4 vs. Jaguars

The New York Jets had a four-game winning steak against the Jacksonville Jaguars coming into their Week 4 matchup, and they left with one of the most embarrassing losses possible.

Did anyone expect the New York Jets to leave Jacksonville with a victory? No. Did they expect the embarrassment they were shown in this game. Absolutely not.

The Jets entered the game having defeated the Jaguars in each of their last four meetings. They left Jacksonville with a 31-12 loss, and they looked overmatch and outcoached on every level.

Normally, we look at the Jets that stood out in the game, but, frankly no one stood out for positive reasons in this game. The entire team played like it was a JV vs. varsity scrimmage. So, we will look at the duds in this one, because it’s easy to pick them out.

So who were the biggest duds in the game? Let’s take a look.

3. The offensive line

Yet again, the offensive line proved to be the undoing of the team. The Jets averaged 2.4 yards per carry, and the line didn’t do well opening holes for the running game all day. The line also allowed three sacks.

If the offensive line keeps playing like they have been, the Jets won’t just end up in the top-10 in the 2019 NFL Draft like they did in 2018 — they will end up with a top-three pick and maybe even the top overall pick in next year’s draft.

The line is abysmal. They’re going to need to sustainably upgrade it in the offseason with a combination of draft picks and free agents.
