Jets 'D' Has Built a Fine 3rd Down Wall

The Jets defense is on a roll. Or more appropriately, it's perched on a great wall that opposing offenses haven't been able to get past for a game and a half.

In fact, the streak of preventing third-down conversions is reaching record-book proportions. Starting with the second half against the Eagles and for the entire London game against the Dolphins, the Jets stopped 18 consecutive third-down plays.

The franchise record is 25 in a row, set by the 2009 Jets over a three-game span against Buffalo, Tampa Bay and Atlanta. And the current 0-for-18 is the longest in the NFL since the Broncos went 26 in a row in November 2012.
