The Jets’ 1st-Half Passing Is Historically Bad

Context for how rough it’s been: the Jets have just 578 net 1st-half passing yards (~44.5/gm), dead last in the NFL. Tennessee is 31st at 990 (~76/gm) — the gap (412 yds) between 31st and 32nd is nearly the same as the gap between 15th (ATL 1,403) and 31st (TEN). Since 1980, no team has finished under 50 1st-half pass yds/gm. Double the Jets’ total and they’d still be 26th. Net = includes sack yardage; even without sacks, the Jets could join only the 2011 Tebow Broncos with <1,000 1st-half pass yds in a season since 1980. What fixes this faster — scheme, protection, or personnel? #NFL #Jets #NFLStats #QBPlay #OffensiveLine
