The Jets offense busted at the blackjack table Sunday night in Las Vegas in a disappointing 16-12 loss to the Raiders, dropping the team to 4-5.
New York, once again, failed to score a touchdown. They did get in the end zone, but it would be wiped out by a penalty, such as C.J. Uzomah’s holding penalty on what would have been a three-yard touchdown run for Breece Hall.
Fellow tight end Tyler Conklin expressed strong frustration with the lack of offense after Sunday’s loss.
“There’s really no good answer to give you guys besides we’ve got to figure it the (expletive) out,” Conklin said after the game. “We’re letting the defense down, the team down.”
"There's really no good answer to give you guys besides we've got to figure it the f— out, and even saying that sounds like a broken record."

Offensive penalties were among the biggest factors in the Jets shooting themselves in the foot yet. The Jets had eight penalties total, including Uzomah’s holding penalty and Michael Carter’s chop-block penalty.
While Conklin is right that the Jets have to figure something out, the Jets, namely head coach Robert Saleh and general manager Joe Douglas, have been stubborn to make the necessary changes and it is sinking what could have been a promising season for the Jets. Time will tell if this loss finally stirs some changes.
