The Jets' defense was flying all over the field in Week 1. Their energy, passion and preparation led to a five-interception game against the Lions. But instead of pumping out their chests in the days following that game, the collective approach of the unit has been: they need to be better this week.
This week is here for the Jets. They play their home opener Sunday against the Dolphins and all eyes will be on two things — what rookie quarterback Sam Darnold does in his first regular-season game at MetLife Stadium, and whether the Jets defense can have another eye-opening, inspiring performance.
