Another critical element influencing the Jets' passing game was their subpar running game. Although the Jets ranked 16th in yards per carry, they finished 28th in passing yards.

The Jets surrendered multiple fourth-quarter leads and failed to deliver in clutch moments, contributing to the overall disappointing season.
