"The Jets' pass rush has disappeared in recent weeks. After a four-sack performance in Week 1, it has recorded only three sacks in the last four games, including only one last week against a depleted Dallas Cowboys offensive line. And that one sack was a give-up play by Dak Prescott. The poor play by the defense prompted Williams' unusually critical comments on Thursday in London, where he blamed the defense for the 0-5 start."
"The poor play by the defense prompted Williams' unusually critical comments on Thursday in London, where he blamed the defense for the 0-5 start. He's not wrong. The Jets have no takeaways -- the first team in NFL history to take an oh-fer in its first five games -- and they're allowing 31.4 points per game. Only the Baltimore Ravens are giving up more (35.4)."
The New York Jets are 0-5 and seeking a spark with the return of edge rusher Jermaine Johnson. Johnson missed three games with an ankle injury but is active Sunday at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. The pass rush has collapsed after Week 1, totaling only three sacks over the last four games following a four-sack opener. The team has recorded zero takeaways in five games, the first team in NFL history to do so. The defense is allowing 31.4 points per game, second-worst in the league behind Baltimore. Improved pressure on the quarterback is identified as the primary need.
