The generous grade is due, in part, to the fact that for as bad as the offense was, it wasn’t really worse than anyone expected. The run game never got on track and though Josh McCown was hitting his targets early on, it was mostly for short gains before guys like Matt Forte and Jermaine Kearse were snuffed while looking for daylight. One bright side was Kearse, who, despite being on the team for less than a week, seems to already have a solid rapport with McCown. ArDarius Stewart looked comfortable and his acrobatic 9-yard catch in the third quarter, when where he laid out in an effort to get to the pylon, is the type of flashiness this offense desperately needs.
Grading the Jets: D for defense . . . and offense . . . and coaching
