The New York Jets were grounded against the Buffalo Bills. It seemed almost as if Bills head coach Sean McDermott and the defense knew what was coming in their 30-10 shellacking of the Jets last Sunday.
Indeed, the Bills had picked up on something. They mercilessly run-blitzed the Jets, sending their corners on early downs and begging Justin Fields to beat them with his arm. Fields responded by putting up the worst performance of his career, going three-for-eleven for 27 yards through the air.
Establish the run. The old football adage has become something of a mantra for the Jets throughout the years, spanning different regimes in the process.
