Here are three takeaways from the game.<\/p>\n<p>Slow Start for Offense<br \/>The Jets&#8217; offense, after not scoring a touchdown last week against the Cardinals, started slowly against the Colts and did not gain a first down on its first five series. The last time the Green &amp; White did not convert on its first five possession was Dec. 26, 2005 against the Patriots.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;A little bit of everything,&#8221; QB <a class=\"nfl-o-cta--link nfl-o-cta--underline\" style=\"word-break: break-word\" href=\"https:\/\/www.newyorkjets.com\/team\/players-roster\/aaron-rodgers\/\" title=\"Aaron Rodgers\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Aaron Rodgers<\/a> said. &#8220;Execution, I missed a couple throws, we had a couple [missed assignments].&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"nfl-o-cta--link nfl-o-cta--underline\" style=\"word-break: break-word\" href=\"https:\/\/www.newyorkjets.com\/team\/players-roster\/breece-hall\/\" title=\"Breece Hall\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Breece Hall<\/a> got a first down on the group&#8217;s final possession of the first half with a 6-yard run on second-and-4. Five plays later, Hall took a 1-yard checkdown from Rodgers 28 yards for the Jets&#8217; first touchdown that cut the Colts&#8217; lead, 13-7, with less than a minute remaining in the second quarter.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I will take the blame on the first drive,&#8221; Hall said. &#8220;There was third down [third-and-3 that resulted in no gain] and I mixed the play up and ran into the right guard. That was a drive killer. But luckily, the offense came alive. They got out to a decent lead and we tried to help recover, but the offense has to do its part so that we don&#8217;t have to come back in the second half.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The Jets went on to score 20 of the game&#8217;s final 34 points and took an 8-point lead in the fourth quarter, but could not muster late-game magic.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Jets (3-8) lost the Colts (5-6), 28-27, at MetLife Stadium on Sunday.
