The Jets scored four offensive touchdowns, matching their season high. They had no trouble moving the ball against the Packers for most of the game, and Darnold would like to have a few throws back. He had a Deontay Burnett open for a touchdown that could have won the game in regulation, but Darnold overthrew him. The Jets also couldn’t come up with long sustained drives in the fourth quarter when they absolutely needed them. But the offense wasn’t the reason the Jets lost this game.
