Per ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the New York Jets have fired defensive coordinator Gregg Williams in the midst of his second season with the team. The team has yet to confirm the report.
Williams, 62, was heavily scrutinized in the aftermath of the Jets’ 31-28 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday after calling for an emphasized blitz in the final minute of the game. With little deep coverage, Derek Carr was able to find Henry Ruggs for a 46-yard scoring pass, allowing the Raiders to erase a rare New York lead with five seconds remaining.
