Offense D
The Jets played it conservatively in Bryce Petty’s first start of the season. Petty threw just two deep passes, though Todd Bowles said several more were called. Petty led two touchdown drives but made a few erratic throws. The defense forced three turnovers, but the Jets converted only one into a touchdown. There were two penalties for too many men on the field, which is inexcusable.
Defense C
Sure, the Jets gave up 416 yards and 14 fourth-quarter points, but they held the NFL’s No. 1 offense to three three-and-outs, forced three turnovers and contained the running game until Mark Ingram’s 50-yard touchdown with 1:33 left.
