Before the New York Jets game against the Ravens in Week 1, I wrote that the team had a path to upset Lamar Jackson and Co.
Defensively, it started with stopping the run (which they did), and Jackson’s middle-of-the-field passing game (also accomplished). Offensively, New York needed to contain the Ravens IDL (a failure), while its receivers had to create pressure against man coverage (also a failure).
On top of that, Joe Flacco underperformed.
So, while there was a path, it was a long one.
The story is different this week, against the Cleveland Browns.
