“#One play summed up glaring Jets’ defensive issues vs. Colts<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n The Jets defense had a chance to make a stand. The unit had forced the Colts into a fourth-and-goal at the 1-yard line midway through the third quarter, and while the Jets trailed by 10, the game<\/a> was not yet out of reach.<\/p>\n

The result summed up how Sunday went for the Jets: just another whiff.<\/p>\n

Rookie Jonathan Taylor got the handoff. Safety Bradley McDougald came across the line of scrimmage to meet him and went low. But Taylor juked, McDougald tackled the air, and Taylor stepped into the end zone for the touchdown, giving the Colts a 17-point lead on the way to a 36-7 thrashing of the Jets at Lucas Oil Stadium.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe knew what they were going to run. At the end of the day, we have to execute, and that\u2019s everybody,\u201d defensive lineman and captain Steve McLendon said.<\/p>\n

\u201cExecution and finish making the plays that are there to be made. That\u2019s the biggest thing. It\u2019s not play calling. Like I told the guys, it\u2019s totally up to us. You have to make up in your mind that you are tired, and you are absolutely tired of the outcome. Once you make that up in your mind, that\u2019s when the change will come.\u201d<\/p>\n

The 36 points scored by the Colts weren\u2019t all on the Jets defense \u2014 16 came from their offense, with Sam Darnold throwing a pair of pick-sixes and then getting sacked for a safety \u2014 but Gregg Williams\u2019 unit didn\u2019t do much to help the cause.<\/p>\n

Philip Rivers was barely touched all day, facing little pressure as he picked apart the Jets on 17 of 21 passing for 217 yards and a touchdown. He was not sacked and was only hit once, even getting to put his feet up early, as backup Jacoby Brissett entered the game with 9:35 left and the Colts leading 31-7.<\/p>\n

McDougald, who called out the Jets after last week\u2019s loss for their sluggish practices, later left the game with an injury.<\/p>\n

Even when the Jets got their hands on the Colts\u2019 receivers, tight ends and running backs \u2014 who often had plenty of space to operate \u2014 they struggled to wrap them up on the first try as they were gashed for 353 yards.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe just have to keep working on it,\u201d coach Adam Gase said of the missed tackles. \u201cWe\u2019re three games into the season. I don\u2019t know, maybe at the end of the year, you look at it and say preseason was that big of a deal. That\u2019s where you get most of your tackling experience for the year, where you\u2019re hardening up and getting used to doing that. Unfortunately, we\u2019re going through this in-season.\u201d\n <\/p><\/div>\n
