Three sets of statistical trends, records, mileposts and highlights, Jets Secondary Edition, following their 23-12 loss to the Bears at Soldier Field on Sunday:<\/p>\n
Minkah’s Metrics For starters, Fitzpatrick was one of 4 Jets who played all 89 defensive plays and all 93 defensive snaps, along with fellow S Dane Belton<\/a>, CB Azareye’h Thomas<\/a> and LB Demario Davis<\/a> \u2500 and Fitz even played 5 more snaps on specials.<\/p>\n Fitzpatrick also posted 16 defensive tackles, not only the top total in this game but the most in a game in his 126-game career.<\/p>\n He notched 10 of those tackles in the first half alone, plus his much-talked-about second-quarter interception, making him the first NFL safety to get at least 10 tackles and 1 pass defense in a half since Eric Weddle of the Rams did it in the first half against the Bucs in 2019, and the first Jets S since 1994 to go 10-plus-1 in a first half. Victor Green and Brian Washington attained that double in second halves in the mid-Nineties.<\/p>\n Last but not least, Fitzpatrick’s INT was the 22nd of his career, ended the Jets’ pick drought, and, along with another no-giveaway game, improved the Jets’ turnover margin to plus-3. That is tied for fourth highest in the NFL (with 9 other teams) after all Week 4 games and is the Jets’ best TO margin after the first 4 games of a season in more than a decade, or since the 2015 team had plus-6.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Three sets of statistical trends, records, mileposts and highlights, Jets Secondary Edition, following their 23-12 loss to the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":365933,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[85,65230,9,11,10,12,34830],"class_list":["post-365932","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-new-york","tag-latest-headlines","tag-minkah-fitzpatrick","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-headlines","tag-new-york-news","tag-news","tag-stats-to-know"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/365932","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=365932"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/365932\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/365933"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=365932"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=365932"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=365932"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
It was probably not the way Minkah Fitzpatrick<\/a> wanted to amass some massive metrics, in his first game back from two weeks rehabbing a groin injury. But the ninth-year safety seemed to enjoy his busy afternoon in Chi-town.<\/p>\n
