An NFL team’s regular-season slate does not have an official halfway point now that there are 17 games, but for the New York Jets, their eighth game can be considered a solid halfway point considering it was followed by the mini bye week that a Thursday night game provides.
That eighth game was a nightmare for coordinator Jeff Ulbrich‘s defense. New York coughed up 532 yards in a 45-30 defeat at the hands of the Indianapolis Colts, wasting a great second-half performance by the offense.
Just two weeks earlier, the Jets allowed 551 yards and 54 points to the Patriots.
