Much like the remainder of the team, the New York Jets special teams unit came crumbling down in a heap of debris and ashes as the team failed to capitalize on their outstanding Week 1 performance.
In reality, there really wasn’t anywhere to go but down after the team’s dominant showing against the Detroit Lions. That being said, an overall dud like this one is certainly not an encouraging sign for a unit that has struggled mightily over the past few years.
The Jets were consistently pinned back deep in their own territory by Miami Dolphins punter Matt Haack who forced the Jets offense to start inside their own 20-yard line on six different occasions.
