The Jets ended Jordan Love's night with Tufele sack, but the big defensive tackle and the defense were just getting started. LB Jamin Davis brought backup Malik Willis down early in quarter two before Taylor jarred the ball loose from Willis and the loose change was scrooped on by Tufele in the end zone. Moments later, Tufele was credited with Willis sandwich that he split with Braiden McGregor.
Up 17-3, the Jets got back into the end zone on a TE screen executed to the perfection from Adrian Martinez to Stone Smartt. With a 27-10 advantage in the fourth quarter, rookie Donovan Edwards' 73-yard score came off the board due to a holding penalty called on Liam Fornadel. After being charged with 10 penalties for 91 yards marked off, the Green & White have some cleaning up to do before next week's joint practices with the Giants. But this was a promising start for a team headed in a new direction.
