Under Interim Chris Harris, Jets Fall 29-6 to Saints as Interception Drought Reaches 15

The team is treating the closing stretch as a brief audition following Steve Wilks' dismissal.

Overview

  • Harris' debut as defensive play-caller opened with a takeaway when Malachi Moore stripped Taysom Hill and Qwan’tez Stiggers recovered.
  • New York held New Orleans to first-half field goals before conceding two second-half touchdowns in a 412-yard, 23-first-down day for the Saints.
  • Aaron Glenn said Harris was patient and composed in handling up-tempo sequences, noting there was no panic in his calls.
  • The Jets set an NFL mark with 15 straight games without an interception and remain stuck at only three takeaways this season.
  • A depleted secondary was overmatched as Chris Olave caught 10 passes for 148 yards and two scores against mismatched coverage.
