OVERTIME

Zack Wilson Has His Moon Landing

Sunday's victory over the Titans was impressive in so many ways.  

Still playing minus Mekhi Becton, the offensive line did a stellar job of protecting their rookie quarterback, yielding just one sack for eight yards.  Tennessee managed just one other QB hit.  Linebacker Harold Landry III accounted for both plays.  Otherwise, Zack Wilson remained untouched.

In return, Wilson led the Jets in a second-half comeback with two fourth-quarter touchdown passes, first to Jamison Crowder on second and goal from the three, then to Corey Davis for 53-yards.  It gave the Jets a 24-17 lead.  

In overtime, Zack led the Jets on a 13-play 71-yard drive resulting in the decisive field goal.  He completed four of six attempts for 57 yards on connections for nine, 29, eleven, and eight yards, respectively.  

Corey Davis caught four of seven targets for a game-high 111 yards, and Jacksonville castoff Keelan Cole secured three of four targets for 92 yards.  That's two receivers for two hundred yards - Boom!

Rush Hour

The Jets perhaps rushed the ball better during that overtime drive than they did all game.  Interspersed in Zack Wilson's heroics, the Jets ran five times, four times for positive rushes of two, eight, five, and two yards.  Otherwise, the Jets backfield rushed twenty times for 53 yards.  Braxton Berrios (receiver) added 15 yards on two attempts.  Overall, the Jets ran for just four first downs.  One came in the overtime drive, and on a 2nd and ten, they rushed for eight yards to make it third and short.  On the very next play, Zack Wilson connects with Keelan Cole for 29 yards.

Williams & Williams, & Co.

Brothers Quinnen and Quincy Williams join together for 19 tackles and total disruption of Ryan Tannehill and the Titans' offense.  Quincy had ten solo tackles and one sack, Quinnen made six solo tackles with two sacks and two other QB hits, and C.J. Mosley was simply out of control.  All told, the Jets sacked Ryan Tannehill seven times with 14 other QB hits.  

Sure Tannehill still threw for nearly 300 yards, and Derrick Henry ran for 157 yards ...

But, hey, the Jets win!

Congratulations, Robert Saleh.
