The Jets have the worst defense in the NFL.
That’s a statement many didn’t expect to hear after New York hired former 49ers defensive coordinator Robert Saleh last offseason. But it’s true. New York ranks last in points and yards allowed heading into Week 11.

The Jets have also given up at least 400 yards of offense in five of their nine games under Jeff Ulbrich.
