For nonetheless good the Jets thought they have been after their outstanding comeback victory final week in Cleveland, they’re positively not ok to beat the rash of dumb penalties and errors they made in Sunday’s 27-12 loss to the Bengals at MetLife Stadium.
The place to begin?
How about with the penalty for roughing the passer by defensive deal with John Franklin-Myers on third-and-9 from the Jets 26-yard line within the first quarter with Cincinnati main simply 7-6?
That prolonged the Cincinnati drive and, 4 performs later, led to a 56-yard Joe Burrow scoring go to Tyler Boyd and a 14-6 Bengals lead.
On the play, Burrow had launched the go (which was incomplete), and Franklin-Myers pushed him to the bottom whereas he was already falling. It wasn’t an egregious, violent motion, however it was pointless nonetheless.
“I don’t assume it was a terrific name, however they known as it,’’ Franklin-Myers mentioned. “I didn’t even push him to the bottom [he did]. I didn’t end him by any means. Even he didn’t agree with the decision and was like, ‘What?’
“It was a type of calls that was f–ked up, however it’s soccer. That’s a mistake on my half, and I've to be higher than that. [One] hundred %, it damage us. That was my fault. I’ve obtained to be higher.’’
Jets receiver Corey Davis wanted to be higher, too. Within the fourth quarter, with the Jets trailing by 15 factors and within the pink zone, Davis and Bengals cornerback Eli Apple obtained twisted up, and he grabbed Apple’s facemask and was known as for a private foul, pushing the Jets from the Cincinnati 14-yard line to the 29.
That ended up stalling a drive that might have lowered the sport to a one-score deficit.
“I simply can’t do this,’’ Davis mentioned. “I do know I’ve obtained to maintain my composure. I simply misplaced my cool. I do know I can’t let that occur.’’
Neither can Jets security Jordan Whitehead permit a dropped interception likelihood occur in a still-close sport within the second quarter.
Whitehead had a Joe Burrow go, deflected off the fingers of tight finish Hayden Hurst contained in the Jets 20-yard line, in each of his hand, and he failed to carry on. Three performs later, the Bengals took a 20-6 lead on a 43-yard area aim.
“I dropped it,’’ Whitehead mentioned afterward. “Tipped ball … you’ve obtained to catch that. For positive, I’ve obtained to make that play.’’
This was a theme to the day for the Jets, who lamented their very own errors greater than the performs the Bengals made on them.
Errors like a second miscommunication within the secondary in two weeks with rookie cornerback Sauce Garner and linebacker Quincy Williams protecting Bengals working again Joe Mixon in the long run zone whereas Cincinnati’s No. 1 receiver Ja’Marr Chase was fully unmarked and caught a TD go for a 27-9 lead.
“Even one of the best of groups can’t overcome a wave of self-inflicted wounds,’’ Jets defensive deal with Sheldon Rankins mentioned. “The issues that we are able to management, we’ve obtained to manage them and we’ve obtained to manage them quick.’’
