Jets 2nd Q costs them vs Falcons
Jets 8-13 Falcons
The Jets suffered their fifth straight defeat at the hands of the Falcons yesterday, where a 10-3 2nd quarter ultimately cost them. The main talking point post game however was the current QB debate, where the Jets are mulling over starting a 4th QB this season.
Following Aaron Rodgers Achilles injury earlier in the season, Coach Saleh has played two QBs, first Zach Wilson and now Tim Boyle. Boyle had (14-for-25, 148 yards) last night, with Saleh being left frustrated with missed chances.
"I felt like there was a lot of missed opportunities with potential explosive plays, possible touchdowns, on the field today."
We've got to find a way to take advantage when we have those opportunities."
Key Points:
Reports suggest Aaron Rodgers will not play any part in the rest of the season
Trevor Siemian could be the 4th QB to play for the Jets this season if he starts next week
