Biggest issue is Jets could not stop the run. Their secondary played pretty well. Purdy was ok but didn’t have a great game. Kittle and Jennings had nice games but didn’t go off. Aiyuk looked like someone who didn’t have a training camp.
As crazy as it sounds because he is reigning offensive player of the year it might have been a disadvantage for the Jets for CMC to be out. CMC runs off tackle a lot more and plays a bigger role in the passing game so if Jets game planned for that and instead got a power runner attacking between the tackles it’s not surprising they had some trouble with it but it is concerning they weren’t able to adapt in the second half.
I thought Rodgers was ok especially for a 41 year old who hasn’t played a full game in a year and a half. He had some nice moments. The interception wasn’t a great pass but it wasn’t bad, Lenoir just made a great play to get his hand in and tip it up and it happened to land in the 49ers LBs hands.
I think the Jets will be fine. Tough week 1 matchup for them on the road. Hopefully they will be sharper next week.
Couldn't say better myself. TN is next we shall see then....
