It’s seems like an understatement to say that very little has gone right for the Jets this season. They are averaging the fewest passing yards per game in the NFL (143.4) and the sixth fewest points per game (18.4). The only silver lining is that New York’s passing defense has been solid, holding four of its last five opposing quarterbacks, including Josh Allen, to under 180 yards.
The pass rush will be New York’s only hope against Flacco, who threw for 342 yards and three touchdowns in Cincy’s upset over Pittsburgh. He has two good weapons to work with in Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins, and Chase Brown could find room on the ground against a subpar Jets run defense. Cincinnati’s defense isn’t as solid and the Over has hit in four games so far this season, so the passing defense — which is allowing 257.1 yards in the air — will have to clamp down against the Jets’ quarterback contingent.
