The Jets just lost at home to a Miami team that had not won a game, and the same situational problems were there again. New York allowed long touchdown drives immediately, Geno Smith threw his second interception in two weeks and the defense could not get the ball back after Miami converted the final fourth-and-1. The Jets can move the ball, but they still are not controlling the moments that decide games.
The Jets moved lower after a 28-25 loss to Miami. The decline in Recent Performance outweighed gains in Offense Strength, QB Stability, and Explosiveness, while Coaching Direction remained unchanged after a competitive offensive showing.
The Jets want Geno Smith to distribute off a balanced offense while Aaron Glenn's defense controls the game early. Miami flipped that script by scoring touchdowns on its first two possessions and forcing New York to chase. Smith threw another interception, and the defense could not create one last possession after Miami's fourth-down conversion. The Jets need the defense to establish the terms before the offense gets pressed.
Aaron Glenn has to solve offensive-line reliability and whether Smith can hold up through a full season before it becomes the part of New York's game opponents can attack every week.
Pick the winner.
New York sits near the middle of the league at No. 12 in remaining road strength, with opponents averaging 80.2. Kansas City Chiefs, Buffalo Bills and Los Angeles Chargers create the toughest stretch, but 4 games against current top-10 teams keep the schedule from belonging at either extreme.
Toughest remaining opponent: Kansas City Chiefs at 90.8 PFM.
Shared profile: QB Stability and Explosiveness.
New York Jets support the quarterback with timing throws and quick-game answers, while Atlanta gets there with the run game and play action. That means New York Jets can get the ball out before pressure changes the down, while Atlanta can pull linebackers toward the run before throwing behind them. Atlanta owns the offensive edge because the attack around the run game and play action can score without depending on one matchup.
New York Jets sits 3rd in the division, 8.4 PFM points from Buffalo.
See the current New York Jets depth chart across offense, defense and special teams.
The Jets are starting Geno Smith with Cade Klubnik behind him, so quarterback remains a long-term need despite having a functional veteran option. New York needs a passer who can grow with Garrett Wilson and the young offensive core.
Azareye'h Thomas and Brandon Stephens currently start outside, with Jarvis Brownlee Jr. in the slot. Another high-end corner would give the Jets a stronger answer against top AFC passing attacks.
Will McDonald IV leads the current edge group, with Kingsley Enagbare opposite him. Another rusher would give the defense a deeper pressure rotation and reduce dependence on McDonald winning every critical down.
