Jets rookie tight end Jace Amaro, who had 10 receptions his last time out, took a step backward Thursday night with a pedestrian performance in a Week 7 loss to New England.
Amaro caught a 9-yard pass on the opening drive of the game and made a 12-yard reception late in the third quarter. After his fellow tight end Jeff Cumberland scored a touchdown, Amaro was unable to come down with the game-tying two-point conversion with 2:31 remaining in the game. He was targeted five times and finished with three grabs for 22 yards in a 27-25 defeat. He has 234 receiving yards through seven games.
The Jets will host the Bills in Week 8.
