The New York Jets did not play well against the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday, and the final score reflected that fact. The Jets lost 24-3, and the game honestly wasn't even that close.
Ryan Fitzpatrick was picked off an incredible six times, finishing the afternoon 20 of 44 for 188 yards and those six turnovers. It's tempting to say he threw the game away, but Jets coach Todd Bowles thinks New York's problems ran deeper than that. The blame goes to everybody.
"It wasn't just the turnovers, we didn't play well at all in either phase of the ballgame and we took an ass kicking," Bowles said during his post-game press conference, per NFL.com. "It wasn't just Ryan. I can name a bunch of people and I can start with the coaches too. It was a s----y game plan, s----y execution, and it was s----y all around."
It's hard to think of a more apt description of how the Jets played on Sunday than "s----y," so at least Bowles did manage to get that one thing right. As for next week against the Seahawks, you can expect to see wholesale changes from the team.
"When nothing works, you have to change everything," Bowles said. "It was a s----y game plan, obviously by the score, and the execution of it was s----y. You can't point to one thing. You have to get back to the drawing board and coach better."
Seattle looked good in dominating the 49ers on Sunday after a poor showing the week before against the Rams. They ran the ball at will and Russell Wilson was finding Doug Baldwin and Jimmy Graham open over the middle time and time again before leaving with a knee injury and a big lead. And the defense was back to its usual self, easily holding the San Francisco offense in check.
The Jets will have to get a whole lot cleaned up if they don't want a repeat of this week's performance.
