Adam Gase played defense on Monday better than Gregg Williams’ unit did against the 49ers.

Gase defended his offensive play-calling and game plan after the Jets scored just one touchdown against a decimated San Francisco defense. He also said Sam Darnold didn’t have the freedom to call an audible on a fourth-and-1 in the first half of the Jets’ 31-13 loss.
