NY Jets: Sunday’s loss proof of Gregg Williams’ overachieving

It took one game for the NY Jets’ defense to prove that the unit was better with Gregg Williams.

After a highly-ridiculed play call that led to the Las Vegas Raiders’ game-winning touchdown last week, the NY Jets fired defensive coordinator Gregg Williams.

With Williams gone, the Jets turned to assistant head coach of the defense and linebackers coach Frank Bush to be their defensive coordinator. And to say the least, things did not improve in the slightest.

The Jets’ defense looked the part of a winless team, giving up a season-high 40 points to the Seattle Seahawks.
