In the New York Jets third game of the 2022 season, on a cloudy early autumn afternoon in East Rutherford, New Jersey, the New York Jets lost to the Cincinnati Bengals 27 – 12.
In the first half it was all Bengals. The Jets pass rush put little pressure on Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow. With time to throw Burrow picked the Jets secondary apart, repeatedly hitting on deep passes to his star trio of wide receivers.
The Jets offense, on the other hand, was mostly stagnant. The Bengals pass rush kept Jets quarterback Joe Flacco under constant pressure, and Flacco did not respond well. He lost the ball on an interception and the Jets offense managed just a trio of field goals in a largely lifeless first half performance.
The second half consisted of more woe for the Jets. The only bright spot is that QB Zach Wilson should return next week.
