The New Orleans Saints (5-10), behind five field goals by Charlie Smyth, defeated the New York Jets (3-12) 29-6 at Caesars Superdome.
New Orleans won its third consecutive game while the Jets lost their third in a row and fourth out of their last five games.
Saints rookie quarterback Tyler Shough carved up the Jets defense finishing 32 for 49 with 308 yards and a touchdown pass.
Sunday marked Chris Harris‘ first game as Jets interim defensive coordinator. Following Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence scoring six touchdowns last week, the Jets defense couldn’t get much worse.
In the second start of his career, Jets QB Brady Cook failed to show much growth from last week’s game. Cook was sacked eight times due to his lack of pocket presence.
The Jets rushing attack struggled to get going. Breece Hall finished with 54 rushing yards on the ground and the Jets averaged just 3.2 yards rushing.
The Jets will play their final game at MetLife Stadium this season next weekend when they host the New England Patriots.
