The drop-off may be somewhat related to the ankle injury which has been nagging him on and off all season long, but I believe that the offensive line going from one of the best in the NFL in his first 2 seasons in 2020 and 2021 to one of the worst in the NFL in his 3rd season in 2022 is the biggest reason for the decrease.

It's both the line and the injury which can't compensate for this year's lack of a threatening (deep) passing game. Interesting numbers: In 10 games in 2022, JT actually has more 20+ attempt games (7) than he had in 17 games in 2021 (6).
Maybe a bit predictable? Of course you could say the same for the last 6-7 games last year, but our line and his homerun ability was able to make it work. Take the NE game for instance... They bottled JT up for 3.8ypc all game. He busts the game-winner and all of a sudden he's got 170 yards for 5.9ypc.
This season, he's had all the grind without very much of the homerun.
