Jamal Adams revealed he was benched in Monday night's 23-3 loss to the Browns, and he’s upset about it.
“Yeah, I was benched,” the Jets' All-Pro safety said during an interview on WFAN Tuesday afternoon. “They benched me. I tried to anticipate a play, which I anticipated wrong and I was benched. It happens. I got to continue to do my job to the best of my ability as well as help lead the guys around me.”
Adams had been called for back-to-back penalties — offsides and encroachment — and was removed by defensive coordinator Gregg Williams with 4:22 left in the game.
