PASS DEFENSE
Well, they didn’t allow any embarrassing long touchdown catches, so that’s an improvement over last week. But this unit allowed Jets quarterback Mark Sanchez to complete a career-high nine passes on attempts of 15 yards of more downfield. They also committed illegal contact and defensive holding penalties that have become commonplace as opposing quarterbacks drop back and target Patriots cornerbacks and safeties. the pass rush was effective at times, but 328 yards from Sanchez and this Jets offense isn’t acceptable.
