Text with Brian Costello all season as he brings Sports+ subscribers the latest Jets intel from on the field and off.

Allen Lazard believes he could have changed a loss to a win.

If only he got the chance.

The Jets receiver was a healthy inactive for the team’s 34-32 Week 1 loss to the Steelers at MetLife Stadium, which came as a surprise since he was listed as a starter on the depth chart leading up to the game.

“Obviously, I would’ve loved to be out there. Just the competitor in me thinks that me being out there can make the difference, no matter what phase or play it would’ve been,” Lazard told The Post after practice Friday. “We played a great game, all three phases. Just came up short. It is what it is, Week 1, but I’m just looking to come to work every single week.”
