Hall, who's the team's leading rusher, believes the team has been responsible for all its losses. The Jets have suffered a defeat in each of their five games this season, raising significant concerns. The running back believes the team can get it right with the right efforts.

“It's all been self-inflicted wounds,” Hall said. “We had four losses that we beat ourselves and teams didn't beat us. Hats off to those teams. You can't shoot yourself in the foot. You gotta come out and execute, play precision, protect the football, keep yourselves from having crazy penalties and have that not-me mentality.”

“It's not gonna be my man or not gonna be me that messes up or has an inmate or whatever the case may be. Nobody is perfect. We have that standard here. We just gotta keep sustaining it and keep pushing it every week.”

“It's just a costly fumble for me, which is unacceptable,” Hall said. “I said it last week, we can't shoot ourselves in the foot. So, you know, I got a stinger on that play and everything.
“I'll just continue to play, but, you know, as one of the best players on offense, you can't put us in that situation. So, it is unacceptable. Will learn from it. It is what it is, but you got to learn from it. You feel like that's the least of your worries.”

Despite the regrettable moment, Breece Hall had noteworthy stats in the game. The running back finished with 133 rushing yards, his best so far this season. He also recorded a total of 155 scrimmage yards in the encounter.
