– Couldn’t Stop Pryor

The trend of not being able to stop the pass continued for the Jets in their win on Sunday. After defeating the Browns, the Jets are still the worst passing defense in the NFL, as they have allowed the most passing yards to opponents, and they have also allowed the most passing yards per game.

Browns quarterback Josh McCown was able to total 361 passing yards in the loss, and his favorite target was wide receiver Terrelle Pryor Sr. In the loss, Pryor led all players with 101 receiving yards, and he tied with Johnson for a game-high of six receptions.

Luckily, the Jets’ passing defense was able to intercept McCown twice in the game, as they surely saved them from allowing some more passing yards. The Jets only sacked McCown once as well, which isn’t going to help a secondary that is really awful right now.

Cornerback Darrelle Revis has been playing very soft in coverage lately, as he seems terrified to get burned. As my colleague Maurice Moton pointed out earlier in the week, it might be time to try Revis at safety. If the Jets are going to have a miracle run at the playoffs, they must find a way to make their pass defense better.
