Greg Zuerlein: Jets deserve to win, I’m not holding my side, that’s on me

Jets kicker Greg Zuerlein missed two field goals in Monday night’s 23-20 loss to the Bills, and then he took the blame.

“I have to eliminate those bad kicks because it costs us a lot of money,” Zuerlein said.

The two misses were from 32 and 43 yards, kicks that are almost automatic in today’s NFL. Zuerlein didn’t really have an explanation for how he could miss such chip shots.

“I really couldn’t tell you,” he said. “It’s one of those things: having to hit a better ball.”

Zuerlein said he has struggled in the past and bounced back from it, and he plans to do that again.

“I have been through ups and downs, hell and back many times. Right now it’s not good, it’s not good enough, because these guys in this locker room deserve to win,” he said. “That bothers you as a player, because you see all the hard work they put in. And I don’t keep the agreement, so that’s on me.”

Jets interim head coach Jeff Ulbrich said after the game that he still has confidence in Zuerlein and will not replace him. But another game like Monday night’s, and the Jets might have to reconsider that.
