New York Jets: 3 Big takeaways from win vs. Broncos in Week 5

2. Time to use multiple tight end looks more often

There are a lot of things the Jets can point to when it comes to their losses as to why they lost, but after the game against the Broncos something is clear. Their offense is more efficient when they run multiple tight ends more than 50 percent of the time.

It may be a combination of deception and help for the offensive line, but there is something glaring about the wins versus the losses in 2018. In the losses to Cleveland, Miami, and Jacksonville they ran multiple tight ends on 57 of the 177 plays (32.2 percent of the time). They were 0-3 in those games.

In the opening week of the season, the Jets ran multiple tight ends on 35 of 59 plays (59.3 percent). In the game against the Broncos, they ran multiple tight end sets (including tight ends lining up wide) on 36 of 58 plays (62.1 percent). Both games resulted in wins.

The offense is much better with multiple tight ends. That wasn’t more evident than on the first touchdown pass to Robby Anderson in which the Jets play in 02 personnel (two tight ends, three wide receivers) and played max protect — sending only three receivers in route.
