This past Sunday, most players on the New York Jets‘ roster apparently did not get the memo that they were playing in a must-win game. One unit did, though: the secondary.
Sauce Gardner, D.J. Reed, Michael Carter II, and the young Tony Adams were among the few standouts for New York in its loss to the Seahawks.
The outside cornerback duo of Gardner and Reed provided shutdown coverage. Combined, Gardner and Reed were targeted 9 times and allowed 3 catches for 17 yards. Only one of those catches went for a first down.
