The New York Jets visit the Atlanta Falcons on Monday for ESPN's Monday Night Football. Kickoff is at 8:40 p.m. ET. Listen to the live radio broadcast HERE or watch the live stream HERE.
Jets rookie Geno Smith continued his rough learning curve last Sunday against Tennessee, where he committed four turnovers. Through four games, Smith is tied for a league-high 11 turnovers, according to ESPN.
"It's just taking ownership to your mistakes and manning up," Smith told reporters, via ESPN. "A lot falls on my shoulders as far as taking care of the ball, but that's something I have to do. No one wants to make those mistakes. It's something that has to stop now in order for us to progress and to get better as an offense and as a team."
New York is 2-2 with both losses happening on the road. Atlanta can capitalize on the Gang Green's road woes, which would be a start in turning their season around. The Falcons dropped their season-opener to New Orleans, bounced back the next week against the Rams, and then lost to both Miami and New England.
"You just don't panic," Falcons receiver Roddy White told reporters. "You are what you earn in this league, so we're 1-3. You just go out there and correct the problems that you have and get ready for the next game. We know at (1-3) that we can't get back to .500 after one game."
Atlanta can at least take solace in that the team hasn't been blown out in its three losses, which were decided by a combined 17 points.
"Obviously, we're not where we want to be," said quarterback Matt Ryan. "We've got to claw ourselves back to where we want to be. It's a long haul. There's still a long way to go."
