Where was the passing game in the first half?

It was non-existent, and it was somewhat by design.

Quarterback Joe Flacco said the Jets wanted to run the ball to keep the Chargers’ pass rushers Joey Bosa and Melvin Ingram from wrecking the game. It wasn’t a good plan.

Flacco threw just eight passes in the first half and completed three of them – two to Ty Johnson and one to Chris Herndon.
