Shortly after scoring on their opening drive of the second half of Sunday’s game against the Dolphins, the Jets offense checked out.
Gang Green managed just four first downs in their last five possessions — not counting the victory formation — over the final 25 minutes after dazzling (ok, mildly captivating) the London audience with their balanced attack in taking a 20-point lead.
The Jets’ special teams also checked out around the same time. Nick Folk missed a makeable 40-yard field goal. A week after allowing an 89-yard touchdown return to Philadelphia’s Darren Sproles, the punt coverage unit barely made an effort to get downfield on consecutive Ryan Quigley boots in the fourth quarter, allowing Miami’s Jarvis Landry to take them both back into Jets territory.
