Turnovers camouflaged Jets' shaky defense against Colts

Jamal Adams stood at his locker a few minutes after the Jets’ 42-34 win over the Colts, grinning broadly. Then he volunteered to describe his own performance in the game.

“I [stunk], man,” the second-year safety said. “But we created turnovers. If you get four turnovers in a game, your odds of winning go up. That definitely helped us come out victorious.”

Hold on.

On the very first play from scrimmage, Adams helped force Andrew Luck’s interception that was returned for a touchdown by cornerback Morris Claiborne. Adams also forced a key fumble in the second quarter that led to another touchdown.
