The New York Jets<\/a> suffered a fifth consecutive defeat on Sunday, losing 37-22 to the Dallas Cowboys in Week 5<\/a>. After the Tennessee Titans<\/a> and New Orleans Saints<\/a> captured upset victories, the Jets are now the lone winless team in the NFL. Welcome to rock bottom!<\/p>\n

A late Garrett Wilson touchdown made the game feel closer than it was. The majority of the Jets’ offensive production occurred in garbage time. The Cowboys<\/a> scored 21 consecutive points during the second quarter to take a 23-3 halftime advantage.<\/p>\n

With that, here are Jets Wire’s<\/a> four things we learned from the Jets’ Week 5 defeat to the Cowboys:<\/p>\n

The passing defense can’t stop a nosebleed<\/p>\n

The secondary has consistently struggled this season and Sunday was no different. Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott completed 18-of-29 passing attempts for 237 yards, four touchdowns, and zero interceptions. The Jets’ have now allowed 11 passing TDs this year, tied for fourth-most in the league.<\/p>\n

Aaron Glenn’s fumble workshop didn’t work<\/p>\n

After losing three fumbles in a Week 4 primetime defeat to the Miami Dolphins<\/a>, Aaron Glenn and staff worked on preventing fumbles throughout this past week of practice. It didn’t work. Trailing 10-3 during the second quarter, the Jets were stringing together a nice offensive drive. That’s when Breece Hall fumbled the ball near Dallas’ 10-yard line, killing a 10-play drive that had gained 59 yards. The Cowboys scored a touchdown on the ensuing possession, blowing their lead open to 17-3.<\/p>\n

Ongoing disciplinary issues<\/p>\n

The Jets were whistled for 13 penalties in Miami last week, costing them 101 yards. The disciplinary issues continued against the Cowboys. Glenn’s sloppy squad was called for another 10 infractions. On the bright side, they were only penalized for 61 yards, but they’re 42 total penalties through five contests are just two short of the league lead.<\/p>\n

Justin Fields holds onto the ball<\/p>\n

One of Justin Fields’ biggest criticisms as a quarterback has been his penchant for holding onto the ball. It’s been an issue in East Rutherford as well, with Fields taking five sacks versus the Cowboys, many of the self-inflicted kind. Fields’ average time-to-throw on Sunday was 2.90 seconds, according to Next Gen Stats.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The New York Jets suffered a fifth consecutive defeat on Sunday, losing 37-22 to the Dallas Cowboys in…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":281770,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5122],"tags":[5229,8015,8019,79843,5286,7311,57230,13555,1596,8998,15917,97462,1318,31962,12940,13821,11652,34007,26079,12942,380,9003,1571,5382,451,635,9004,405,403,5287,50,5226,5225,1232,12623,5228,5227,97170,450,457,41211,112328,62,1458,1229,9007,48220,67,586,132,5230,68,2969,22869,636],"class_list":{"0":"post-281769","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-new-york","8":"tag-america","9":"tag-american","10":"tag-american-football","11":"tag-breece","12":"tag-breece-hall","13":"tag-cowboys","14":"tag-dak","15":"tag-dak-prescott","16":"tag-dallas","17":"tag-dallas-cowboys","18":"tag-dolphins","19":"tag-fields","20":"tag-football","21":"tag-garrett","22":"tag-garrett-wilson","23":"tag-hall","24":"tag-hub","25":"tag-jets","26":"tag-justin","27":"tag-justin-fields","28":"tag-miami","29":"tag-miami-dolphins","30":"tag-national","31":"tag-national-sports","32":"tag-negative","33":"tag-new","34":"tag-new-orleans-saints","35":"tag-new-york","36":"tag-new-york-city","37":"tag-new-york-jets","38":"tag-news","39":"tag-newyork","40":"tag-newyorkcity","41":"tag-nfl","42":"tag-nfl-hub","43":"tag-ny","44":"tag-nyc","45":"tag-orleans","46":"tag-overall","47":"tag-overall-negative","48":"tag-prescott","49":"tag-saints","50":"tag-sports","51":"tag-sports-news","52":"tag-tennessee","53":"tag-tennessee-titans","54":"tag-titans","55":"tag-united-states","56":"tag-united-states-of-america","57":"tag-unitedstates","58":"tag-unitedstatesofamerica","59":"tag-us","60":"tag-usa","61":"tag-wilson","62":"tag-york"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":"Validation failed: Text character limit of 500 exceeded"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/281769","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=281769"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/281769\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/281770"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=281769"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=281769"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=281769"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
