The full read
Geno Smith was sacked five times against the Chiefs and never found the end zone: 18 of 32 for 165 yards, no touchdowns and no interceptions in a 35-12 loss. Over his 37 attempts and sacks he was worth -10.8 expected points added (EPA), what a play was worth given down, distance and field position, -0.29 a play. His completion percentage over expected (CPOE), how often he completed passes against what their difficulty predicted, was -9.2.
The sack that cost the most came with the Jets still in it. Down 14-12 with 42 seconds left in the half, they had the ball at the Kansas City 26 after a strip sack; on third and 6, Chris Jones sacked Smith for 9 yards, -1.4 EPA and 10.2 points of win probability, the estimate of each side's chance to win, and Jason Sanders's 53-yard try went wide left. After halftime it got worse. Down 21-12, third and 4, a 19-yard completion to Adonai Mitchell came back on an illegal shift, and on third and 9 Ashton Gillotte sacked him for 14. Down 28-12 early in the fourth, fourth and 3 at the Kansas City 20, George Karlaftis sacked him for 6, -3.7 EPA.
It was far below his season. Through Week 8 he had +38.6 EPA on 239 attempts and 23 sacks, +0.15 a play, and completed 69% of his passes; here he completed 56.3%. The 165 yards were his fewest since Week 4.
