The New York Jets were flat out humiliated by the Denver Broncos on Sunday. After riding high versus Kansas City, the Jets came back to the ground, hard, losing 23-0. This was an embarrassing game for New York, but how did each individual unit perform?
Quarterbacks
Josh McCown & Bryce Petty
Key Stats:Â McCown: 6/12, 48 yds, 0 TD, 1 INT, 25.0 RTG
Petty: 2/9, 14 yds, 0 TD, 39.6 RTG
Notes: Josh McCown struggled mightily throughout the game. He broke his hand in the third quarter, and Bryce Petty did not play any better in his relief. Just a bad game for these two.
Final Grade: F
Running Backs
Bilal Powell and Matt Forte
Key Stats:Â Powell: 13 Att, 35 yds, 2.7 YPC
Forte: 6 Att, 13 yds, 2.2 YPC
Final Grade: D-
Notes: Can’t put all the blame on the Bilal Powell and Matt Forte simply because the O-Line gave them no opportunities.
Wide Receivers
Robby Anderson and Jermaine Kearse
Key Stats:Â Anderson: 3 Rec, 27 yds
Kearse: 1 Rec, 4 yds
Final Grade: F
Tight End
Austin-Seferian Jenkins

Final Grade: F
Offensive Line
Entire Unit
Key Stats: 4 sacks, 59 total rushing yards, 1 penalty

Notes: These stats may not look worthy of an F, but the tape will show this unit got dominated all game long.
Defensive Line
Entire Unit
Key Stats: 1 sack, 84 rushing yds allowed, allowed 2.4 YPC
Final Grade: B-
Linebackers
Entire Unit

Final Grade: C
Secondary

Final Grade: C-
Special Teams
Entire Unit
Final Grade: B
Notes: Not much to evaluate here. No field goals for Chandler Catanzaro. Lac Edwards did punt eight times, averaging a solid 45.6 yards per punt.
Coaching
Entire Unit
Key Stats: 100 total offensive yards, 273 yards allowed. 0 points, 8 punts, 2.1 yards per play.
Notes: The coaching staff looked as if they gave up in the second quarter. Down 13-0 with around a minute left in the first half, Todd Bowles let the clock run rather than try to make it a one score game. Also, after McCown left the game, they called it quits. They ran the ball down 3 possessions with 10 minutes left in the fourth. Truly pathetic all around from the coaching staff.
Final Grade: F
