While the New York Jets‘ defense is continuing to do a good job of preventing points, the unit has lost an important skill over the past five games since the bye week: forcing turnovers.
Prior to their Week 10 bye, the Jets had forced 14 turnovers in nine games. They forced at least one turnover in every game.
Since the bye week, the Jets have forced just one turnover in five games. That one turnover was a fourth-quarter interception by C.J. Mosley against Chicago at a point where the game was already decided, so the Jets have not forced a meaningful turnover since Sauce Gardner picked off Josh Allen in the third quarter of the Jets’ Week 9 win.
