The New York Jets walked out of Foxborough with a familiar, frustrating result, falling short in a 27-14 loss to the first-place New England Patriots in Week 11.
But buried beneath another long night for Justin Fields and the offense was something the franchise desperately needed. It was further proof that they’ve found their offensive coordinator of the future.
Tanner Engstrand didn’t magically fix the passing game or hide the very real roster flaws that doomed the Jets again. What he did do, though, was drag this talent-depleted offense to another somewhat functional performance against one of the best defenses in the NFL.
