What if I told you …
- The Jets offense scored 27 points, their highest output of the season.
- Their lead running back, Breece Hall, looked just like the dual-threat weapon he’s billed as, rushing for 78 yards and a TD on 16 carries and catching seven passes for 43 yards and a TD.
- Their quarterback, Aaron Rodgers, after an anemic start, accomplished 22 of 29 for 184 yards and two TDs.
- Their ballyhooed mid-season acquisition, receiver Davante Adams, finally had his breakout game as a Jet (well, sort of), catching six passes for 72 yards.
- They didn’t turn the ball over on offense and compelled one takeaway on defense and committed only two penalties for 14 harmless yards.
- Oh yes, and their fourth kicker prior to now 4 games, Anders Carlson, made each of his field goal attempts — one from 58 yards to provide them a 17-16 lead and one from 35 yards to provide them a 27-22 lead with 2:41 remaining in the sport.
If I told you those things all took place within the Jets game against the Colts on Sunday at MetLife Stadium, how much of your weekly paycheck would you might have wagered on a Jets victory?
Hopefully, for the sake of your rent or mortgage, not a single penny.
Because despite doing all the above things right, the Jets still found a method to improper their tortured fan base, losing to the Colts, 28-27, to fall to an utterly embarrassing 3-8 entering their bye week.
