For as well as the Jets offense played in the second half, it wasn’t enough to make up for an absentee first half and poor day defensively.
The Jets scored at least 20 points for a second consecutive week and it still wasn’t enough to win because the Chargers ran wild for three-and-a-half quarters on a banged-up New York defense. Joe Flacco looked solid despite a bad pick-six to start the day and the combination of Denzel Mims and Breshad Perriman looked fantastic again.
The defense was the problem in this one, particularly in the secondary. Justin Herbert had his best passing game as an NFL quarterback and the Chargers scored on five of their 10 possessions.
New York is now to 0-10. As a winless season continues, here are four takeaways from the latest loss.
