After cutting it to 7 against dallas they got the ball at their own 1 and got it across midfield. That was huge even though he eventually fumbled.
At oak they cut the lead to 7 w/ a 93 yd drive in just over 3 mins giving the D plenty of time to get a stop and get the O the ball back but they couldn't stop oak. 5 1/2 mins w/ 3 timeouts is an eternity.
What good does that do when you still need 7 points to tie? The O can't always rely on a big special teams play, or the D to give them the ball in FG range to win games. When the Jets needed its offense to score points in the most critical time in the game, it was unable to do so. Even if the Jets had stopped Oak, they still needed 7 to tie it, and couldn't even get that.
