The former No. 1 overall pick threw two more interceptions and was held below 200 passing yards for the 10th time this season in Week 12, as his struggles persist against everyone except the Atlanta Falcons.

Note: The Jets were off on Monday so we didn't get an update on Neal Pionk who left the game in the first period after just a few shifts We may have gotten a tell as Moose head coach Mark Morrison split up his D pairs which is unusual given the team has won six straight so it could possibly mean that Elias Salomonsson will be recalled Stay tuned for that and…...
