This is a New York Jets team that is still on the young side. They had five rookies playing integral roles in the 2022 season opener.
But it wasn’t the Jets’ youthful inexperience that proved to be their downfall in the 24-9 loss to Baltimore. Shockingly, the loss was primarily caused by some wildly disappointing performances from a few of the team’s veterans.
These five vets dropped the ball on Sunday.
QB Joe Flacco
We start with the Jets’ 37-year-old backup quarterback, who did nothing to make his former team miss him.
Joe Flacco was supposed to bring poise, smarts, and a cool demeanor to the New York offense during Zach Wilson’s absence.
