Overview
- New York improved to 2-7 by beating Cleveland 27-20 on the strength of a 99-yard kickoff return and a 74-yard punt return, the first time the Jets have had both in one game.
- Justin Fields went 6-of-11 for 54 yards with an interception, and 42 of those yards came on Breece Hall’s screen pass for the team’s only offensive touchdown as the Jets posted 42 net passing yards.
- Aaron Glenn told reporters he would not disclose his starter and stressed that winning is the priority, as outside calls grow for veteran Tyrod Taylor to get a look.
- The Jets’ defense recorded six sacks and allowed three points after halftime, with Will McDonald tallying four sacks to tie the franchise single-game record.
- Garrett Wilson’s knee is being evaluated after he left the game, and rookie corner Azareye’h Thomas is in concussion protocol and will miss Thursday’s game at the Patriots.
