The New York Jets may have lost their third consecutive game on Sunday, but it’s hard to blame the defense for any of the team’s struggles. It was another week of offensive deficiency for the Jets only this week the defense definitely came to play.
The Jets defense held the Miami Dolphins to just 168 yards of offense throughout the entirety of the game. Brock Osweiler and the Dolphins managed just 104 passing yards as a team, the lowest total given up during head coach Todd Bowles tenure with the team. The team allowed just 64 rushing yards as the run defense returned to form and shut down Frank Gore and the Miami running game.
