LB Neville Hewitt

Jamal Adams leads the Jets in every defensive statistical except interceptions. That honor belongs to Neville Hewitt, who grabbed his second interception of the season. Hewitt picked off Dwayne Haskins early in the fourth quarter to set the Jets up for another touchdown, which pushed the lead to 34-3. 

Hewitt returned after missing four games with a neck injury and played well. He finished tied for third on the team with five combined tackles and his only blemish was in coverage on a pass to wideout Terry McLaurin that didn’t end up counting.
