The defensive play call that cost the Jets their first win of the season also cost Gregg Williams his job.
The Jets fired Williams on Monday, a league source confirmed.
Williams, the Jets’ defensive coordinator both seasons under coach Adam Gase, called an all-out blitz in the waning seconds of Sunday’s 31-28 loss to the Raiders.
It left rookie cornerback Lamar Jackson in one-on-one coverage on Raiders rookie wide receiver Henry Ruggs, one of the fastest players in the league. Ruggs blew by Jackson, and Derek Carr hit him in stride for a 46-yard touchdown with five seconds left in the game.
