Disappointing numbers reveal the harsh downfall of the NY Jets’ pass-rush

Carson Wentz could have untied both of his shoes, tied them again, and still gotten the ball out on the majority of his plays against the New York Jets on Thursday night.

Wentz was pressured on a measly 21.2% of his dropbacks, tied for the second-lowest pressure rate the Jets have applied on an opposing quarterback this season.

It’s not even as if Wentz was getting the ball out quick to limit the pass-rush. Wentz held the ball for more than 2.5 seconds on 60.6% of his dropbacks, a number that would rank fourth-highest in the NFL this season.
