Playing the blame game: What’s causing NY Jets’ drop woes?

New quarterback, similar result: the dropsies continued for the New York Jets on Sunday.

The much-anticipated return of Zach Wilson ultimately yielded a victorious outcome, which makes it easy to overlook the flaws. However, through three quarters on Sunday, it appeared that the wheels had come off. Some of the blame goes to the team’s pass-catchers, who were credited with four drops against the Steelers (and had two more that they probably should have caught). The culprits were Tyler Conklin, Breece Hall, and Garrett Wilson.

In 2021, Jets’ pass-catchers were charged with 40 drops at a putrid 10.
