After converting with touchdowns on each of their four red zone possessions in Week 12, the Jets increased their league-best TD conversion rate to 73%. Offensive coordinator Chan Gailey told reporters Thursday that head coach Todd Bowles didn’t wait long to emphasize the importance of finishing inside the 20.
“I think the biggest thing is Coach Bowles had us start working on that from almost the third day we got here,” Gailey said. “We’ve been working red zone - he really believes in situational football - and we’ve been working hard at it from early, early in OTAs.
