The New York Jets showcased a robust offensive performance against their city rivals.

Special teams played an integral role too; punting duties were executed efficiently with five attempts covering two hundred two total punt yards and ensuring three landed inside the twenty-yard line – pinning back the Giants effectively on multiple occasions.

The red zone efficiency stood out as well; seventy-five percent success rate from four trips inside indicated clinical finishing when it mattered most by converting those opportunities into points on three occasions.
