Jeff Ulbrich believes the most telling stats that determine the outcomes of games are turnover margin and explosive plays. The Jets are proving their defensive coordinator right.
They are minus-4 in turnovers, and their defense has allowed too many explosive plays. The Jets record: 0-2.
Ulbrich has his group flying around and standing up in critical times. The Jets are ninth in total defense, third in opponent’s third-down conversion rate and tied for second in red-zone defense. Teams have been in the red zone seven times thus far and punched it in just twice.
But the Jets will continue to work on eliminating chunk plays after New England picked them apart with a short passing game.
