It’s been that kind of season for the New York Jets.
The good news? It’s benefitting the Houston Texans
On a well-designed reverse play, Malachi Corley went untouched 19 yards to the end zone, but right before he crossed the goal line, Corley dropped the ball and it rolled out of the end zone.

Due to the ball rolling out of the end zone, it is a touchback, meaning Houston gains possession. It’s been an ugly start for both sides, combining for less than 100 yards in the opening quarter.
New York’s snap at the Texans 19-yard line was the lone snap inside either red zone. Houston’s offense has done little while the Jets struggle.
Stroud has been under pressure most of the night and the passing game has struggled without receivers Stefon Diggs and Nico Collins.
Houston can activate Collins off the IR next week, while Diggs will miss the rest of the season an ACL tear.
