OFFENSE

The Jets looked lost on offense for most of the day. They averaged 3.5 yards per play and managed just 178 total yards. QB Sam Darnold (17-of-34, 167 yards, 1 TD) could not find a rhythm. The Jets ran the ball just 14 times. Offensive coordinato­r

The only reason this group avoids an F is because of some late life that ended up with three takeaways and gave a small glimmer of hope for a comeback. The Jaguars rolled up 503 yards, the most a Jets defense has given up since 2008. Jaguars QB Blake Bortles (29-of38, 388 yards, 2 TDs, 1 INT) looked like he was unstoppabl­e. The Jets had no answer for the short crossing patterns Jacksonvil­le continuall­y ran. It was an abysmal effort. D

SPECIAL TEAMS

It was a pretty nondescrip­t day for the special teams units. Lachlan Edwards had an active day and averaged 47.8 yards per punt. The Jets limited the Jaguars’ return game and did not make many mistakes. B

COACHING

The Jets looked unprepared at the start of the game and seemed to have no fire.

Todd Bowles had 10 days to get his team ready and it looked like his players were sleepwalki­ng. Bates had a terrible game. He gave up on the run too soon and became pass happy. F
