The costliest came from the same spot in the fourth. Down 23-13 with 12:31 left, on the snap after a roughing penalty extended the drive, his deep pass to Kenyon Sadiq was intercepted by Charles Woods at the 24, -3.6 EPA and -7.1 points of win probability. In the second quarter, down 7-3, he was stopped for no gain on a fourth-and-1 run at the New England 39, -3.2 EPA. In the third, Elijah Ponder's 8-yard sack on third and 5 from the New England 10 held the Jets to a field goal. The Jets ran 8 red-zone plays and scored no touchdowns there.
