There have been only two preseason games, both losses, but the Jets’ defense has clearly been the strength of the team. Even so, veteran inside linebacker Demario Davis wants things to be better.
“The backbone of this team is going to be the defense,” he said, “so we have to perform at a high level every time. No excuse.”
The Jets limited the Titans to a field goal in a 7-3 win in the preseason opener, but the Lions moved the ball fairly well against the starters in the first half. The Jets trailed at halftime, 13-0.
