Jets offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett didn’t know just how bad it was in the moment.
His offense converted a woeful 2 of 15 third downs during the Jets’ 13-10 overtime win over the Giants last Sunday. They failed to convert on their first 12 third downs, and did not pick up their first conversion until late in the fourth quarter.That reality started to sink in for Hackett after the final whistle.
“If you’re not converting on third down, that’s why you don’t feel that rhythm, so for us, we have to find a way to stay on the field.”Corey Sipkin for the NY POST They have converted just 20 of 87 third downs this year , dead last in the NFL by a wide margin. The Browns are next worst at 31.1 percent.
“Just making sure I’m doing my job, make sure I’m always 100 percent open, that might open up something else. Give Zach a quicker look so we’re not taking those sacks on third down, whatever it may be. We’re gonna try some new things this week and see how that works.”Corey Sipkin for the NY POST
