Jets' Costly Penalties and Coaching Decisions Lead to Seahawks Loss
New York Jets interim coach Jeff Ulbrich addresses a series of critical errors, including 12 penalties and game management missteps, after a narrow 26-21 defeat to Seattle.
- The Jets committed 12 penalties, including five during a pivotal fourth-quarter drive, with three occurring on fourth downs and two giving the Seahawks first downs.
- Interim coach Jeff Ulbrich called the team's mistakes, including a critical too-many-men-on-the-field penalty and pre-snap errors, 'totally unacceptable.'
- Cornerback D.J. Reed publicly criticized officiating on social media, prompting Ulbrich to plan a private conversation with him about the outburst.
- Ulbrich faced scrutiny for a questionable clock management decision at the end of the first half, which limited the Jets' opportunity to extend their lead.
- Injury concerns arose with cornerback Sauce Gardner (hamstring) and right tackle Morgan Moses (shoulder), while running back Kene Nwangwu was signed to the active roster following a standout special teams performance.
