Jets defense should face a much easier test after key Falcons injury

The New York Jets enter Week 13 at 2-9, but their record doesn’t tell the full story. After an 0-7 start, the Jets have quietly gone 2-2 in their last four games and have shown legitimate signs of progress under their new staff.

They were competitive throughout last week’s 23-10 loss to Baltimore, and with Tyrod Taylor expected to start again this Sunday, they have another opportunity to build momentum against a beatable Atlanta Falcons team.

Fortunately for the Jets, the Falcons are also dealing with their share of notable injuries. At 4-7, they’ve just lost Michael Penix Jr.
