The New York Jets had a promising start Sunday against the Kansas City Chiefs, but the afternoon eventually turned into another frustrating loss. New York scored on each of its first four scoring opportunities, with Jason Sanders connecting on four field goals to give the Jets a 12-7 lead in the second quarter. Kansas City countered with five touchdowns, pulling away for a 35-12 victory at Arrowhead Stadium
.The final score offered little encouragement, particularly for an offense that couldn't find the end zone. Still, individual performances can get lost when the team struggles, and Pro Football Focus provides another way to evaluate how players performed within their assignments. A loss doesn't mean every player had a poor afternoon, just
as a respectable grade doesn't erase the problems that showed up on the field.

Other players also earned recognition from PFF, even as the offense struggled to keep pace with Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs. Here are the five highest-graded Jets players on offense against the Chiefs in Week 9, according to Pro Football Focus.
