The New York Jets managed to put together some productive drives against the Kansas City Chiefs, but moving the ball can also lead to disappointment. It all depends on whether the unit can finish drives. In Week 9, they couldn't. They settled for four Jason Sanders field goals and failed to score a touchdown ina 35-12 loss at Arrowhead Stadium.
The offense struggled to maintain its early momentum, and the second half offered little resistance as Kansas City pulled away. Pro Football Focus grades provide another perspective on the performance, identifying individual players who struggled within their assignments. The Jets had some bright spots, particularly in Breece Hall's return to the lineup, but the overall offensive showing left plenty to examine.
The five players on this list finished with the lowest grades on the unit, including several pass catchers who couldn't provide enough production to change the outcome. The offensive line also had its share of problems. Geno Smith was sacked five times, and Kansas City's defensive front consistently made life difficult for the quarterback. That pressure contributed to an afternoon in which New York never found the end zone. Here are the five lowest-graded Jets players on offense against the Chiefs in Week 9, according to Pro Football Focus.
Jets' lowest-graded offensive players in Week 9
5. Jelani Woods, tight end — 51.2
4. Isaiah Williams, wide receiver — 48.1
3. Mason Taylor, tight end — 47.3
2. Adonai Mitchell, wide receiver — 46.9
1. Armand Membou, right tackle — 45.7
Membou landed at the bottom of the rankings after a difficult afternoon up front. Kansas City's pass rush brought Smith down five times, and the right tackle's grade reflects the struggles New York had protecting its quarterback. For an offensive line expected to give Smith a cleaner pocket, this was a performance that needs to be addressed.
