Breece Hall Supports Geno Smith Despite Jets Losing Streak

The New York Jets fell to the Kansas City Chiefs this week, seeing their record drop to 2-6 on the season.

New York has now lost four straight games, with the playoffs looking more out of sight with each passing week. It's been a tough go of late for the Jets, and the blowout loss on Sunday didn't help anything.

Quarterback Geno Smith didn't play very well against the Chiefs, with the veteran throwing for 165 yards. Smith has put together a nice year so far for the Jets, but he got some criticism after the loss to Kansas City.

After the game, Jets running back Breece Hall defended Smith, saying that the team wants to play better for him. The star back knows that Smith has been doing what he can for the group, but that as a whole, New York needs to be more focused.

"We're frustrated with him... he's been doing very well distributing the ball and leading this offense," Hall said. "He definitely deserves for us to play better for him."

Even with the losing streak, it seems that the locker room supports Smith, showing him love after the game. While the team has lost multiple games, Smith has done what he can, for the most part, to help them win.

The performance from Smith against the Chiefs was fairly lackluster, but the veteran did have them hanging with Kansas City in the first half. The second half of the game was a problem all around for the Jets, and the outcome can't fall all on Smith's shoulders.

It doesn't seem like Smith's job is at risk at all, especially with the Jets not having much better options at this point. And the team reportedly got some trade requests for Smith, with New York shooting down all inquiries about the veteran quarterback.

For now, this will be Smith's responsibility to fix, with the others in the locker room trying to help him. Having Hall back on the field now should help, giving the Jets offense a little more to work with.

But the veteran quarterback will take all the blame for any losses the rest of the way, while also getting credit for any wins. That is just the business of being a quarterback in the league, and Smith understands this fully.

However, it likely feels good for him to be supported by his teammates, especially in the media like this. New York will have another chance to snap the losing streak when they host the AFC East rival Buffalo Bills this coming week.
