With the Cowboys traveling to New Jersey to take on the Jets this week, many people are talking about two major storylines with this team: Sam Darnold’s return from mono and the fact that Gang Green is winless. Not much is being said about how good the defense is, though, which it is.
The Jets made huge investments in their defense over the offseason, spending the third overall pick on defensive tackle Quinnen Williams and handing a five-year, $85 million contract to linebacker CJ Mosley. Both players left with an injury in the season opener and Williams only returned last week.
