Another week, another offensively inept performance as Jets fall to Falcons
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- The rain was falling, penalty flags were flying and the Atlanta Falcons kept slogging away.
Desmond Ridder threw a 20-yard pass to MyCole Pruitt in the second quarter for the game's only touchdown and the Falcons took over sole possession of first place in the NFC South with an ugly 13-8 victory over the punchless New York Jets on a dreary Sunday.
"You're in a playoff chase, you're trying to win a division," coach Arthur Smith said. "Sometimes it can get ugly in the elements. Whatever happens, you adjust and at the end of the day, you've just got to find a way to win."
