It feels as if we're back in 2022 and 2023, when the Jets' defense played well enough to win but they got nothing from the offense. In today's NFL, you can't go two games without a touchdown. It's remarkable and it's crippling. The Jets' defense allowed 13 points to Denver in London last week and 13 points Sunday. That should be good enough to win, but it's not when you produce five field goals in 23 drives.
What started as musical chairs is beginning to sound like a sad trombone. There's only so many times you can reshuffle an offensive line before it has a ripple effect on the entire football team. The Chargers are reminded of that now as they head into Sunday's game with the Washington Commanders hoping - as opposed to knowing - they can provide adequate protection for quarterback Justin Herbert.
Sunday was a day of frustrating defeats. Every NFL team gets upset about losing, of course, but Week 3 was full of dramatic collapses, bizarre endings and a shocking number of blocked field goal attempts. In a matter of minutes, there was a pair of block-scoop-and-score touchdowns, as Jordan Davis sealed up a comeback win for the Eagles while Will McDonald IV appeared to set one up for the Jets.
