The New York Jets had one of the worst offensive performances in NFL history in their 13-11 loss to the Denver Broncos in Week 6.
And it is not hyperbole to call it one of the worst offensive performances in NFL history, as you'll see with some of the stats we've provided below.
Quarterback Justin Fields completed just nine passes for 45 yards in the contest and the Jets didn't even crack 100 yards of total offense between the passing and rushing attacks.
Fields was sacked a whopping nine times, but a lot of those were on him, as he simply wouldn't get rid of the football.
When he did, Fields' passes were mostly inaccurate, especially when targeting Garrett Wilson, who had just three catches for 13 yards.
How did the Jets score 11 points with all that going on?
Well, they were gifted short fields by a Broncos fumble and a big kick return from Kene Nwangwu, and the Jets recorded a safety thanks to a holding penalty on Denver.
On the drives after the fumble and big kick return, the Jets went three-and-out on both but still managed to come away with a field goal.
Now, here's six pathetic stats from the Jets' inept offensive showing on Sunday.
- The Jets had -10 net passing yards. Justin Fields threw for 45 yards but was sacked nine times and lost 55 yards on those sacks. The -10 net passing yards is a new franchise record and the lowest amount in any NFL game since 1998.
- The Jets had 82 yards of total offense, with 92 of them coming on the ground. That is the third-lowest number of total yards in a game for the Jets in franchise history.
- Breece Hall's longest gain of the game (12 yards) came on a fumbled snap by Justin Fields, which Hall scooped up and ran.
- The Jets' offense scored the fewest number of fantasy points combined in a game this season.
- New York averaged 1.4 yards per play.
- Seven of the Jets' 12 drives went three-and-out.
Yikes.
As if the play of the Jets' offense itself wasn't bad enough, the play-calling from offensive coordinator Tanner Engstrand was embarrassing, to say the least, especially during the team's final drive of the first half.
After what we witnessed on Sunday, it's not crazy to think the Jets might turn to Tyrod Taylor to see if he can at least competently run the offense in Week 7.
