The Jets Offense Is Averaging 3.16 Yards per Play

That’s it.  That’s the article. The Jets are averaging 3.16 yards per play this year, which is embarrassing beyond belief.

Throug  Since 1970, the Jets are just the 8th team to average under 3.2 yards per play of offense through four games, and the first since 1978.

The graph below shows the yards per play gained by each NFL offense since 1970. As you can see, the Jets stick out on the bottom right.  The X-Axis shows teams by year, and the Y-Axis shows the yards per play gained by that offense.

The Jets have been awful through the air, averaging just 3.17 net yards per pass attempt, and not any better on the ground (3.16 YPC). The Jets are just the 4th team since 1940 to average under 3.2 yards per play in both passing and rushing offense, joining the 1942 Steelers, 1977 Bucs, and 1978 Falcons.
