Wide receivers and tight ends struggled immensely
Outside of another tremendous performance by Jamison Crowder (we’ll dig into his elite start to the season later on in this piece), the pass-catchers had a brutal day against Arizona.
When targeting Crowder, Joe Flacco was 8-of-10 for 116 yards (11.6 per target), one touchdown, and three additional first downs (40% conversion rate). When targeting anybody else, Flacco was 10-of-23 for 79 yards (3.4 per target) and four first downs (17.4%).
Drops were an issue, as the Jets were knocked with four of them – two for Jeff Smith, one for Chris Herndon, and one for Braxton Berrios.
