It was a tough day for the Jets as they led 21-7 early in the second quarter. But crucial turnovers and lack of offense in the second half doomed them to defeat.
Reed played in the 10th game of the 2024 season on Sunday. Coming into the contest, he had recorded 37 tackles and eight pass breakups along with one sack. He had seven tackles and a pass breakup against the Seahawks.
Reed is likely to get a fine for criticizing the officials. Pro Football Talk noted that Cleveland Browns star Myles Garrett was hit with a $25,000 fine for calling officiating a "travesty" last year after a win over the Jacksonville Jaguars.
