Frustration Without Complaint
Garrett Wilson kept his comments measured after the Jets dropped a 26-19 decision at Gillette Stadium.
Limited Opportunities in Key Areas
The Jets ran 31 plays in New England territory but got the ball to Wilson just once there, on a 12-yard reception in the fourth quarter. He saw only three targets inside plus territory overall and just two through the first three quarters. The offense converted 3 of 10 third downs, went 0 for 3 in the red zone and failed on both fourth-down attempts while managing only six points off two short fields created by the defense.
Other Contributors Step Up
Rookie Omar Cooper Jr. recorded six catches for 103 yards, including a 48-yard touchdown that brought the Jets within 17-10. Braelon Allen carried 17 times for 78 yards at a 4.6-yard average. The Jets sit at 2-4 after averaging 18.7 points per game and scoring just four touchdowns over their last three contests.
