Dud: Adam Gase

Adam Gase’s conservative play-calling has been an issue all season for Gang Green. After the first drive, the Jets’ scripted play calling stopped and so did the team’s offensive success.

Gase’s misguided decision making set the Jets up for failure from the start. With 36 seconds remaining in the first half and the Jets at midfield, Gase opted to pass the football rather than run out the clock.

Sam Darnold was stripped sacked off his blindside by T.J. Watt, leading to a Mason Rudolph touchdown pass to Diontae Johnson to tie the game at 10 before the half.

New York barely edged out Pittsburgh due to a multitude of field goals from the leg of Sam Ficken. In the event of an upset, the game should never have been as close. The Jets should have blown Pittsburgh out of the water, but instead hung on to dear life in a 16-10 victory.
