The Jets played without Sauce Gardner, D.J. Reed, Aaron Rodgers and others, yet still beat last year's NFC champs and are 3-3 at the bye.
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — Two hours before kickoff, was on the field at MetLife Stadium, walking on his own, no boot, no crutches, like he wasn’t barely a month removed from . In another life, another season, this might have felt like torture for a team that, a few weeks ago, felt like it had no hope of accomplishing much this year, not when Rodgers went down. The idea of Rodgers returning was like a carrot on a stick, always just out of reach.
The Jets expected the Eagles to run the ball on third-and-7, to kill the clock. Instead, they threw it. Advertisement Hurts made a bad throw. Safety snared it and nearly ran it back for a touchdown. Instead, on the first play after, running back coasted in for an 8-yard touchdown, and Zach Wilson followed it with a laser to for a two-point conversion. The Jets were beaten and bruised and battered, but they took the punches like Rocky Balboa, and outlasted a team that was supposed to kill them.
