Frank Reich points to analytics when defending Jets’ game-deciding play vs. Packers

New York Jets offensive coordinator Frank Reich defended the team's controversial fourth-down play call during their Week 2 loss against the Green Bay Packers. The Jets faced a critical fourth-and-1 situation from midfield with 1:20 remaining in regulation before failing to convert and ultimately losing the game in overtime.

Speaking to reporters on Thursday, Reich utilized data and statistics to justify the decision to attempt a shotgun handoff to running back Braelon Allen, who was stopped by the Packers' defense. New York had previously surrendered a two-score fourth-quarter lead before turning the ball over on downs.
