From there, the Jets registered 220 total yards and 11 first downs but failed to find the end zone again despite three trips into Rams’ territory and one time in the red zone, in which they settled for a 21-yard field goal by Anders Carlson to close out the first half.
“I wouldn’t say we struggled offensively,” Adams said. “I would say that we struggled to score, which you could say is the same thing but, in a way, it was more disappointing that we were able to drive down the field and not score.”
Adams finished the game with 7 receptions for 68 yards and the Jets’ lone touchdown. Wilson had 6 receptions for 54 yards. The Jets were aggressive throughout, going for it on fourth down five times, including once from their own 33-yard-line.
“At this point in the season, we are trying to have the mindset of trying to be aggressive,” Adams said. “We have a lot of people on the offensive side of the ball that can make plays so the whole team’s mindset is just trying to be aggressive and do what we can to put up points.”
Adams & Co. will finish the year with a road game against Buffalo in Week 17 before hosting Miami at MetLife Stadium for the season finale. Despite a 4-11 record, Wilson expects the offense to keep plugging way.
“I expect all the guys to put a lot of pride into our last few games,” Wilson said. “We all love to do this and are expected to, and want to, do this at a high level. I don’t expect anything other than that. I expect us to put our best foot forward and see where that puts us.”
