Steve Wilks’ Jets defense had no Baker Mayfield answers on final drive

The heroes and zeros from the Jets’ 29-27 loss to the Buccaneers on Sunday:

Hero

Chase McLaughlin made 5-of-6 field goals, including the walk-off 36-yarder as time expired. Two of his field goals were from 53 and 54 yards and the last one made up for a blocked one returned for a touchdown just two minutes earlier.

Unsung Hero

It was lost in the crazy fourth quarter, but for most of the game the biggest play was Jamel Dean’s 55-yard interception return for a touchdown that turned a 13-6 lead into a 20-6 lead. He jumped a route when Garrett Wilson didn’t come back for the ball.

Zero

Jets defensive coordinator Steve Wilks didn’t have a call to make Baker Mayfield uncomfortable on the game-winning 48-yard scoring drive and his unit only had one sack and two quarterback hits despite facing an offensive line missing three starters.

Key Stat

1: First down gained on the Jets’ final five first-half possessions combined as their offense started fast and finished fast but disappeared in the middle.
