Jets drop potential pick-6 that could have changed the game

 EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- The New York Jets were in a position to take control of their game against the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday, but they let a golden opportunity slip through their fingers.





With the Jets trailing 14-7 in the second quarter, rookie cornerback Sauce Gardner stepped in front of a Dak Prescott pass and had a clear path to the end zone. But Gardner dropped the interception, and the Cowboys went on to score a touchdown on the next drive to take a 21-7 lead.

The dropped interception was a costly mistake for the Jets, as they went on to lose the game 24-21. It was also a reminder that Gardner is still a rookie, and he has some things to learn.



"I'm just disappointed in myself," Gardner said after the game. "I had a chance to make a big play for my team, and I didn't come through. That's on me."

Jets head coach Robert Saleh defended Gardner, saying that he's still a young player and that everyone makes mistakes.

"Sauce is a great player," Saleh said. "He's going to make a lot of big plays for us this year. It just wasn't his day today."



The dropped interception was a tough break for the Jets, but it wasn't the only reason they lost the game. They were also outplayed by the Cowboys on both sides of the ball.

But if Gardner had made the interception, it could have changed the game. The Jets would have had the ball back with a chance to tie the game, and they may have been able to win it in overtime.



Unfortunately, that's not what happened. Instead, the Jets are now 0-2 on the season, and they're facing a long road ahead.
