The Jets had nothing to lose except another football game.

Interim head coach Jeff Ulbrich made extremely aggressive decisions Sunday, as if the Jets were going nowhere and the only fun left was playing spoilsport.

That’s all true, of course, but two of Ulbrich’s questionable decisions in the fourth period backfired and directly contributed to a 19-9 loss to the Rams that had everyone wondering how good ball movement didn’t lead to more points.

“It’s aggressive and — at this point in the season — I think it’s just kind of a mindset,” receiver Davante Adams said after catching a touchdown pass from Aaron Rodgers. “We have a lot of guys on that side of the ball that can make plays.

“That’s the mindset of Brick, Aaron and actually the whole team – we’re trying to do everything we can to get points. You live by it, sometimes you die by it. It’s unfortunate, but I feel like it was the right thing to do.”

The Jets led 6-0 and were in full control in the second quarter when Ulbrich left the offense on the field and scored a fourth-and-1 at his own 33-yard line. Analytics agreed with Ulbrich’s decision.

Breece Hall was stuffed for no gain. Three plays later, the Rams evened the score.

“I wouldn’t say it kills a team, but it sucks if you don’t convert,” Hall said. “We do it because we trust our offense, but we also trust our defense to bounce back from it. Our defense was still elated afterward because they got another chance to get on the field.”

Why did Ulbrich risk giving up such a short field? Because the Jets managed 99 yards on their first drive.

“We serviced drives,” said Ulbrich. “We were moving the ball … so I wanted to stay aggressive and keep the ball in our offense’s hands.

Ulbrich’s second bold decision came on the first possession of the second half, at the end of a 14-play, 78-yard drive.

When faced with a fourth-and-4 at the 13-yard line, Ulbrich missed a 31-yard field goal and Rodgers threw an incompletion to Adams on a fade.

The logic behind shooting the field goal at this point is to get reward for a performance that took almost 10 minutes after halftime.

The logic for trying to move the chains is to turn a three-point lead into a two-score game by adding a touchdown.

“I just appreciate the coach having the courage to go for it,” receiver Garrett Wilson said, “but it’s definitely hard not to convert them.”

Ulbrich indicated that 4 yards was the maximum range.

“We wanted to try it,” Ulbrich said. “We had a good feeling about the game we announced. Aaron also had a good feeling about it, so we thought it was the best decision at the time.”

The Jets finished 2-5 on fourth down and also missed a 49-yard field goal on fourth down late in the fourth quarter, so Ulbrich may have been doomed either way.
