The former Duke Football wide receiver Jamison Crowder did not have a major impact on the New York Jets’ loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday afternoon.

The New York Jets fell to the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday afternoon, dropping the team to 1-6 on the season and the season seems to be heading south quickly for Gang Green.

In the 29-15 defeat, former Duke wide receiver Jamison Crowder only reeled in three passes for 24 yards.

The three receptions was tied for the third-highest on the team with running back Le’Veon Bell.

Crowder was targeted five times on Sunday by quarterback Sam Darnold, which was tied for the second highest on the team with Demaryius Thomas and Bell.

Wide receiver Robby Anderson led the team with six targets on the afternoon.

In his first season with the Jets, Jamison Crowder has played in all seven games, accumulated 50 targets and reeled in 35 receptions for a total of 322 yards, but he has yet to find the end zone this season.

Averaging 9.2 yards per reception, Crowder also has one rushing attempt on the season for four yards.

Crowder was expected to see to uptick in his production once Darnold returned from his illness, but the veteran has not gotten the opportunity due to the ineffectiveness of the Jets offense as a whole.

Jamison Crowder is in his first year with the Jets after being drafted by the Washington Redskins in the fourth round of the 2015 NFL Draft. Crowder signed a three-year deal with New York in the offseason and the deal is worth up to $28.5 million.

In four seasons at Duke, Crowder totaled 283 receptions for 3,641 yards and 23 touchdowns while also having 21 rushes for 135 yards and a touchdown.

The New York Jets will try and turn things around next week as the team head back down to Florida to face the winless Miami Dolphins on Sunday, November 3 at 1:00pm EST and the game can be seen on CBS.
