Three sets of statistical trends, records, marks and highlights by the Jets following their bye weekend and heading into Sunday's home meeting with the Cleveland Browns:
Mad Dash Toward the Top
As can be expected when a team rushes for 254 yards in a game, several runs will be of the explosive variety. At Cincinnati, the Jets had four runs of 25-plus yards: Isaiah Williams' 25-yard end-around, Isaiah Davis' 50-yard right-side dash, and Breece Hall's 35-yarder followed by his 27-yard tightrope touchdown.
The four 20-plus rushes ties the franchise mark for most in a game, done seven previous times. As for four 25-plus runs, that's only happened twice before — against Buffalo in 2009 (Thomas Jones and Leon Washington, two apiece) and vs. Denver in 2018 (Isaiah Crowell three times, Bilal Powell once). Thus, Cincy was the first time the Jets have had four 25-plus runs in a road game in their history.
And those monster runs have helped bring the Jets back to No. 3 in the league with 143.6 rush yards/game and No. 2 with a very healthy 5.20 yards/carry.
Fewer Flags A-Flying Recently
Is HC Aaron Glenn's penalty preaching sinking in? The Jets through the season's first five weeks had 42 penalties marked off against them for 352 yards. Their average of 8.4 penalties/game was tied for sixth most in the NFL and their 70.4 penalty yards/game was fourth highest.
But in the last month, the Green & White's yellow light has come on — or has it been turned off? The Jets in the last four weeks (three games plus the bye) have been assessed 11 penalties for 66 yards. That's 3.67 penalties and 22.0 yards/game. Both of those figures are No. 1 in the NFL for fewest penalties and yards against for Weeks 6-9.
