Key Performances and Plays
One of the highlights for the Jets was punter Thomas Morstead's impressive showing, managing to pin down two punts inside the 20-yard line from his three attempts, accumulating a total of 160 yards. This strategic field positioning played a crucial role in keeping the game competitive.
