This was frustrating to watch as a Texans fan. DeMeco putting too much faith in the pass rush? The defense has gotten away with this multiple times but good QBs will beat it from time to time.
Probably a lot of faith that his blitzes could get home and that they could hold out in 1-on-1 coverage. In his defense, it took two one-handed catches by Wilson and Rodgers hanging in the pocket with pressure in his face multiple times for the Jets to pull this one out.
The bigger issue was not being more persistent with the run. The Jets couldn't stop it, as they showed on that 98-yard drive. Slowik just seemed intent on trying to throw it for some reason (and the halfback pass in the red zone made no sense). That seemed like a game they could have won without Stroud needing to throw more than 20-22 passes...

Oh don't get me started on Slowik. LOL
