Jets Offense Sputters in Latest Loss
The New York Jets' offensive woes continued in Week 6, as they managed just 82 total yards and 11 points in a loss to the Denver Broncos. Quarterback Justin Fields struggled, completing only 9 of 22 passes for a mere 82 yards.
The Jets' offensive troubles appear set to continue in Week 7, with star wide receiver Garrett Wilson listed as doubtful due to a knee injury. Wilson's potential absence would be a major blow to a Jets offense that has failed to find any consistency this season.
Injuries Piling Up for Jets
In addition to Wilson's status, the Jets are also dealing with other key injuries on offense. Slot cornerback Michael Carter II is listed as questionable as he works his way back from a concussion.
The offensive line depth has also been tested, with the Jets needing to rely on backup options at multiple positions. This lack of continuity has hampered the unit's ability to open holes in the running game and provide adequate protection for Fields.
Opportunity for Panthers
The struggling Jets offense will face a stiff test in Week 7 against the Carolina Panthers. Carolina's defense has shown signs of improvement in recent weeks, and they will look to take advantage of the Jets' offensive woes.
Panthers running back Chuba Dowdle has emerged as a reliable option in the backfield, providing a steady presence that could help control the tempo of the game. Quarterback Sam Darnold will also be motivated to perform against his former team.
TL;DR
- The Jets' offense continued to sputter in a Week 6 loss, managing just 82 total yards and 11 points
- Injuries continue to mount for the Jets, with Garrett Wilson listed as doubtful and other key players questionable
