### **Quote of the Day**
Jets head coach Aaron Glenn on the winning touchdown play with 1:54 left. Jets running back Breece Hall's first NFL touchdown pass, a four-yarder thrown on a toss play to the right on first-and goal from the Bengals 4 that barely fluttered over the hands of cornerback D.J. Turner as he face-guarded rookie tight end Mason Taylor with a blanket:
"That's the call we've been practicing all week. And when we came to the sideline … we talked about the play, and I asked Justin, I thought it was really funny, I asked him how he was feeling about it. He was like, '(Crap), coach, it better work. We've been practicing it all week quite a bit. It better work.'"
### **Game-Changer**
The Jets may have been winless, but some of those fourth-quarter 23 points were spectacular plays.
With the Jets going for two and down, 38-30, with 8:01 left, the scrambling Fields muscled a pass to running back Isaiah Davis despite rookie Bengals linebacker Barrett Carter grabbing his ankle and bringing him down.
Even with fellow rookie linebacker Demetrius Knight draped all over Davis and the initial ruling that Davis didn't have the ball over the goal line and the two-pointer had failed, the play was reversed.
"I saw him scrambling. I have to take a better angle right there," Carter said. "Although I did have an angle, I have to fit him up and actually tackle him better. That play shouldn't have happened. I just have to take better angle and get them down."
### **Touch of Class**
As devastated as Bengals center and captain Ted Karras was about the loss, he made certain to pay tribute to former Jets All-Pro center Nick Mangold.
Mangold, 41, who played all 11 seasons with the Jets and went to seven Pro Bowls, died less than two weeks after he said he needed a kidney transplant. The Bengals held a moment of silence before the game in the press box, about 45 minutes from his hometown of Centerville, Ohio.
"An amazing man. I'm thinking about him and his family," Karras said. "He was obviously looking down on the New York Jets today. Big loss for the NFL. A man who was really a long-time hero for the center position."
