Jets Q & A: Why couldn't they convert on short-yardage situations in first half?

What happened on the third-and-1 and fourth-and-1 plays in the second quarter?

The Jets couldn’t move the football. They were on the 49ers’ 20-yard line, and ran the ball on back-to-back plays with Frank Gore and Josh Adams and went nowhere.

The Jets may have gotten the first down if they ran a quarterback sneak with Sam Darnold.
