Fun Facts from 2019:

  • The Jets’ TEs gained fewer than 40 yards receiving in 13 games and had one catch or less in six contests.
  • New York’s defense allowed only 3.34 yards per rush (2nd), but RBs did score ten rushing TDs.
  • Le’Veon Bell didn’t have a run over 20 yards on 245 carries, and he now has only three rushers over 20 yards over his last 566 carries.
  • The Jets’ defense and special teams scored six times, ranking just behind NE (8) and TB (7).
