Todd Bowles’ penalty push-ups did not have the desired effect

Todd Bowles might need to ditch the penalty push-ups. They clearly are not working.

The Jets committed 13 penalties for 108 yards in Friday night’s 22-16 loss to the Giants. They committed multiple penalties in every phase of the game. Four of the penalties came on special teams.

“It felt like more than that,” Bowles said. “We practice it. We practice doing things on it. We can’t have that going into opening day. I thought the effort was great, especially in the first half. Penalties were unacceptable, will be unacceptable going forward. We have two weeks to clean it up.
