Josh Allen was horrid in his previous three games against the Jets. We can excuse the Jets’ defense for one bad performance against the high-octane Bills since New York had previously dominated Buffalo’s offense to a level that is rivaled by no other team.
The only game where the defense performed worse was Week 2 of the 2022 season, generating -17.92 points against the Browns. According to Pro Football Reference, the Jets’ defense generated -14.64 expected points against Buffalo, which is a season-low and the unit’s second-lowest total since the start of 2022. For all the hype surrounding the Jets’ defense, they have shown some consistently exploitable flaws in 2023, especially this past week against the Buffalo Bills.įor once, the Jets’ defense was about as poor as the offense. That statement is indisputable.īut to claim they are “dominant” would indeed be disputable based on their performance this year. The New York Jets’ defense is great, but should not be treated as if it is untouchable
