New York Jets: The effect Eric Decker’s absence has had on the Jets offense

It is no secret that the New York Jets have been one of the biggest disappointments in the NFL this season. Their current 3-7 record is a long stretch from the 10-wins a season ago.

This season, many critics are putting the blame on Jets veteran quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick for their disappointing year. However, it is not completely Fitzpatrick’s fault. Eric Decker’s absence has had a domino effect on the Jets receiving corps.

The turning point to the Jets season was when they found out that their No. 2 wide receiver would miss the remainder of the season due to surgeries on his hip and shoulder.
