The 10 worst calls that went against the Jets in 2023

Photo by Amy Lemus/NurPhoto via Sometimes the calls just don’t go your way Back in February, we broke down some of the interesting penalty-related trends that affected the New York Jets in 2023. That review was based solely on the data.

Breaking down penalty-based trends for the 2023 Jets

Photo by Danielle Parhizkaran/The Boston Globe via The Jets did not appear to be a disciplined team in 2023 Once again, New York Jets coaches, players and fans felt aggrieved in 2023, as their penalty rates were often among the highest in the NFL and a few close games featured crucial calls that went against them, which could have been the difference between them losing and having a chance to win.
