Still played strong despite elimination
Not only did the Jets score on their opening drive last week, they actually won, too. New York topped the Pittsburgh Steelers 16-10 and all but eliminated them from the postseason after the Steelers also lost to the Bills the week prior.
While the Jets offense did stink, but it mustered up two field goals in the second half for the win. Down the stretch the secondary held strong, too. Marcus Maye in particular made two big plays in the game as he notched an interception and in the dying second he broke up a pass during a one-on-one coverage at the goal line with wideout James Washington. It was an impressive stop and despite all the off-field and on-field problems for the Jets, they’re evidently going down with a fight this season.
Steelers have 2nd and 7 on the Jets' 29. Don't gain another yard and it's a 46 yarder for Boswell in a three point game.
Instead, it's a sack, dropped snap, and offense goes backwards 17 yards in two plays. Has to punt. That was the game right there. pic.twitter.com/0DR33e8Jze
