Missed tackles are an enormous problem
For the second consecutive week, Gregg Williams‘ defense has embarrassed itself when trying to finish tackles.
According to Pro Football Focus’ tracking, the Jets led the NFL in missed tackles last week with 16. This week, they whiffed on 13, tied for second-most. With 44 tackles converted, they posted a chronic miss rate of 22.8%, second-worst of the week behind only Pittsburgh’s 22.9%. That’s even worse than their Week 1 rate of 21.1% (16 missed / 60 made), which was third-worst of the week.
