For the first time in many years, the New York Jets‘ offense can be described as “competent”. Offensive coordinator Mike LaFleur has the Jets ranked 19th in points per game (21.8) and 18th in total yards per game (335.0). New York has placed no higher than 23rd in either category since placing 11th in scoring and 10th in total yards back in 2015.
But there is still plenty of room for improvement after the Jets’ Week 10 bye.
If the Jets’ offense wants to take the next step – progressing from competent to legitimately solid – they must start by improving in one crucial area: short-yardage situations.
