The Athletic has live coverage of NFL Week 6 action<\/a> across the league.<\/p>\n

The New York Jets had a baffling final drive of the first half that ended with the team letting the clock run out without snapping the ball during Sunday\u2019s game against the Denver Broncos in London.<\/p>\n

After the Jets converted on fourth down, running back Breece Hall ran up the middle for 5 yards. Then Denver sacked quarterback Justin Fields on the Jets\u2019 41-yard line, forcing New York to take its last timeout of the half.<\/p>\n

On third-and-7, Fields threw over the middle to receiver Josh Reynolds for 6 yards, short of the first-down marker. The Jets let the clock run out and did not run a play on fourth down.<\/p>\n

New York entered halftime trailing Denver 10-6. The Broncos went on to win, 13-11<\/a>.<\/p>\n

While walking off the field, Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson had a spirited conversation with coach Aaron Glenn, who had his arm around Wilson as they headed to the locker room. Wilson gestured and shook his head as he spoke to Glenn.<\/p>\n

The Jets\u2019 32 yards of total offense in the first half was the least by any NFL team in one half this season. Wilson, who leads the AFC in all three major receiving categories, saw just two targets in the first half. His first came with eight and a half minutes remaining in the second quarter.<\/p>\n

Wilson managed one catch for two yards.<\/p>\n

What happened?<\/p>\n

The Jets\u2019 end-of-half possession just about sums up their morning \u2014 and their season. After going for it on fourth-and-short successfully with a direct snap to Hall on a fake punt, the Jets proceeded to \u2026 run the clock out with runs, short passes, and by not snapping the ball on fourth down. It was a dumbfounding sequence for an offense that was otherwise a disaster in the first half, mustering 32 yards and two net passing yards. \u2014 Zack Rosenblatt, Jets beat writer<\/p>\n
