The offense finally seems to be working for the New York Jets against the Houston Texans


The offense finally seems to be working for the New York Jets against the Houston Texans

The New York Jets ended a five-game losing streak with a 21:13 win against the Houston Texans on Halloween evening.

It was finally a good night for the Jets as they picked up their third win of the season and ended a months-long losing streak. While New York got off to a slow start against the Texans, they managed an excellent second half where they began to show some of this team's potential.

After being shut out in the first half due to wide receiver Malachi Corely's fumble on his first career touchdown, the Jets scored 21 points in the second half and the offense seemed to take hold.

It's been very frustrating to see all of the team's talent underperform, especially on offense, as Davante Adams, Garrett Wilson and Aaron Rodgers have all failed to live up to their potential in recent weeks.

However, the win against Houston could be the moment when people look back and say the Jets figured it out and turned it around.

In the win, Rodgers had an outstanding second-half performance as he totaled 211 passing yards, three passing touchdowns and zero turnovers.

With Allen Lazard still out, the veteran quarterback leaned heavily on his two star wide receivers, as Adams and Wilson both had good games and complemented each other well on the field. For Wilson, he totaled nine catches, 90 yards and two touchdown receptions.

Wilson's second touchdown reception was a ridiculous grab that brought back memories of Odell Beckham Jr. against the Dallas Cowboys years ago. Adams also had his best game as a member of New York as he totaled seven receptions, 91 receiving yards and one touchdown reception.

While the passing offense finally got going, the running game led by Breece Hall also performed well as he totaled 74 rushing yards and averaged 4.9 yards per carry.

There's still a lot of work to be done to salvage the season given the Jets' struggles in recent weeks, but Thursday night was a good start. Now New York will have a nice extended break to recover before heading west to take on the Arizona Cardinals.

If the win against the Texans was any indication, things might finally be clicking for New York on offense.
