Despite 11 games and a bye just last week, Avery Williamson believes the reason the Jets defense is struggling is because of lack of communication and unity.
The team hasn’t had a takeaway during its five-game losing streak, matching an NFL record, and has allowed 400 or more yards in back-to-back games: 498 to the Patriots Sunday and 451 to the Bills the game before. What was supposed to be a strength has turned into a liability, ranked 27th in rushing yards allowed. There’s also a general sense that players are focused on their individual games rather than the whole.
