A typically solid NY Jets unit deserves more blame for Patriots loss

Quarterback Zach Wilson is drawing most of the ire for the New York Jets‘ 10-3 loss in New England, and rightfully so; as shown by the film.

But Wilson certainly wasn’t alone in New York’s offensive struggles.

After Wilson, the Jets’ second-biggest issue on offense was a dormant run game. If you exclude Wilson’s three scrambles for 26 yards, the Jets rushed for only 33 yards on 20 carries (1.7 per carry). The rushing attack was embarrassingly poor.

While the offensive line undoubtedly deserves a lot of blame for the rushing woes, I also think the running backs deserve some blame.
