Week 7 New York Jets Team Grades
The New York Jets were able to pull off
a great win against their division rival New England Patriots on
Sunday in an overtime thriller. The win moves the Jets to (4-3) on
the season, which keeps them right in the hunt for a Wild Card spot
in the AFC.
Passing Grade (B)
The passing offense was pretty good for
the Jets in this game led by Quarterback Geno Smith, who in his
second game against the Patriots played much better than he in the
Week 2 loss. Smith did have one major mistake in the first quarter,
as he threw a pick six to Logan Ryan when the Jets were driving.
Smith did bounce back from his first quarter woes and finished with a
nice game throwing for 233 yards on 17 for 33 passing with a
touchdown. The Jets receivers did a good job in this game despite
being short handed without Winslow and Holmes, as Jeremy Kerley had a
fantastic game catching eight passes for 97 yards and a touchdown.
David Nelson made the most of his opportunity to play more, as he
caught four passes for 80 yards.
