No one team in the NFL has defended the run better than the New York Jets over the past decade. Since 2011, the Jets have yielded 3.89 yards per carry, the lowest mark in football.
Over the same stretch, the Jets have been an abysmal pass-rushing team, ranking 27th in the league with 2.2 sacks per game.
A role reversal could be on the horizon.
That’s not to say the Jets’ run defense will tumble to an abysmal level akin to their pass-rushing over the past decade. Instead, New York’s run defense might only be around league-average this year, whereas the pass rush could be elite.
