WATCH: Robby Anderson says it feels like 'odds are against' 0-2 Jets
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- This was supposed to be Robby Anderson's breakout season.
A difference maker on a revamped Jets offense, the electrifying deep threat was expected to push for his first career 1,000-yard campaign.
Already without Sam Darnold for the forseeable future, adversity continued to ravage the Jets quarterback room, with Trevor Siemian the most recent casualty.
To make matters worse, the Jets entered Monday night's matchup without standout linebacker C.J. Mosley, first round pick Quinnen Williams -- and lost wide receiver Demaryius Thomas (hamstring) and linebacker Jordan Jenkins (calf) during the game.
"It's hard," Anderson said. "It feels like the odds are against us."
After an embarrassing 23-3 loss to the Cleveland Browns on Monday night -- and now the Jets (0-2) down to their third quarterback for at least another week -- his coming out party likely won't be coming any time soon, however.
Promoted from the practice squad just hours before the Monday's prime time matchup, Luke Falk replaced an injured Trevor Siemian at quarterback with 7:58 to go in the first half.
Though he endured the typical hardships of an inexperienced quarterback thrust into the national spotlight, the 24-year-old showed remarkable poise as the game wore on.
His best throw of the night was a 36-yard heave down the right sideline to -- you guessed it -- Anderson.
"I feel like [Falk] went out there and gave his all. It's all he could do," Anderson said. "He gave me a chance to make plays."
While on paper, Anderson's four catches for 83 yards would seem to indicate a strong performance, most of his damage came well after the game had already been decided.
The top receiver for the Jets was largely a non factor through the first three quarters.
Anderson wasn't much of a focal point in the team's Week 1 loss to Buffalo either, only mustering three receptions for 23 yards in the 17-16 loss. Spotty offensive line play placed Sam Darnold under siege for most of the afternoon, often settling for dump offs and intermediate throws.
With the New England Patriots (2-0) up next, the arduous slate of games doesn't get any easier for the Jets.
"In this game, you can only control what you can control," Anderson said. "Anything can happen. It's what we make of it. We've got to capitalize every play that we make. We've got to create a rhythm, be consistent and score points. It's the name of the game. We can't have turnovers. (We) can't have penalties. We've got to capitalize and execute. It's the name of the game."
In order for the Jets to redirect their course on offense, they'll have to push the ball down the field in order to remain competitive.
And they have one of the best downfield threats in football to ignite the offense, if they choose to utilize his skill set.
