Jets Grounded in Arizona: Cardinals Take Flight with Dominant Victory
In a week 10 showdown that saw the New York Jets fall to a 3-7 record, the Arizona Cardinals improved their standing to 6-4 with a commanding 31-6 victory. The game, held at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, was attended by 64,030 fans who witnessed the Cardinals' prowess on both sides of the ball.
Jets' Struggle on Offense
The Jets' offense faced significant challenges throughout the game. Quarterback Aaron Rodgers completed 22 out of his 35 attempts for a total of 151 yards but failed to find the end zone. The running game saw some action with Breece Hall leading the charge, amassing 52 yards over ten carries. Braelon Allen contributed an additional 27 yards on seven attempts, but neither back could break through for a touchdown.
Special teams had its moments with Spencer Shrader successfully converting two field goals from distances that showcased his range and accuracy. However, these efforts were not enough to ignite a struggling Jets offense that couldn't capitalize in critical red zone appearances.
Defensive Efforts Overshadowed
On defense, Quincy Williams stood out for the Jets with ten combined tackles and one sack—the team's only sack of the game—alongside forcing a fumble which highlighted his impactful performance despite the loss. Jamien Sherwood also made notable contributions with seventeen combined tackles and one tackle for loss.
The defensive unit managed to force one fumble and recorded three sacks against Arizona's quarterback but struggled to contain their opponents' dynamic offensive playmakers throughout four quarters of play.
Looking Ahead
As they turn their focus towards recovery and preparation, the New York Jets will host the Indianapolis Colts at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford on November 17th at 1:00 PM EDT. Fans can catch this matchup live on CBS as New York looks to bounce back from this setback and improve their standing in what remains of their season.
