The New York Jets suffered their third consecutive loss by 20 or more points in Week 16, falling 29–6 to a previously four-win New Orleans Saints team on Sunday. Undrafted rookie quarterback Brady Cook made his second career start, and it went about as poorly as could have been expected.
Cook finished 22-of-35 for 188 yards and an interception, and while the box score doesn’t look egregiously bad, the film and advanced metrics tell a very different story.
The UDFA rookie was sacked a whopping eight times in Sunday’s loss as he struggled to do much of anything against a less-than-stellar Saints defense.
