The New York Jets‘ cornerbacks were the greatest surprise of the team’s season opener against the Carolina Panthers. Covering an excellent wide receiver unit, the Jets’ young corners held their own and gave the Jets some outstanding production.
Make it two straight strong days at the office for the position that entered the season as arguably the team’s worst on paper.
The New England Patriots’ wide receivers combined to catch only nine passes for 69 yards against the Jets’ defense. Comparatively, they grabbed 12 passes for 133 yards against the Miami Dolphins in Week 1.
