One of the biggest questions leading into Sunday night’s game was whether offensive play caller Todd Downing would maintain the positive changes he made in his debut against Buffalo. The results were mixed.
On the positive side, Downing continue to build the New York Jets offense around 3-receiver sets rather than heavy personnel packages, which is a good thing since it is a better fit for the players on their roster. The Jets ran 11 personnel (1 RB/1 TE/3 WR) on 75% of their plays against Pittsburgh, their second-highest rate of the season.
