Six weeks ago, New York Jets fans had their hearts broken after watching their star quarterback Aaron Rodgers suffer a torn Achilles tendon in just four plays. It looked like the Jets were doomed to a season without hope, but the team had different plans.
On October 15, the Jets surprised everyone by taking down the Philadelphia Eagles 20-14. The Jets, playing without two of their cornerbacks, Sauce Gardner and D.J. Reed, put on a stellar defensive display and kept the Eagles' quarterback, Jalen Hurts, flustered all day. Hurts ended the game 28-of-45 for 280 yards, one touchdown, and three interceptions. The Eagles also lost a fumble, making for a very disappointing outing for their offense.
The Jets' quarterback Zack Wilson, on the other hand, had an impressive performance with no turnovers and 19-of-33 passes for 186 yards. His favorite target was wide receiver who caught eight passes for 90 yards.
The game was tied 14-14 late in the fourth quarter when Tony Adams intercepted a Hurts pass and returned it inside the Eagles 10-yard line. The Jets capitalized on the turnover with a Breece Hall touchdown run for the go-ahead score. The Eagles had one more chance to win but couldn't convert on fourth down.
The Jets now move to 3-3 and head into their bye week with a big win under their belt, before facing the Giants in an intracity tilt on Oct. 29. The Eagles, on the other hand, have a tough test next week against the AFC East-leading Miami Dolphins.
