First Quarter


The game kicked off with both teams showing strong defensive plays. The Jets' defense was particularly notable for their ability to pressure the quarterback, recording four sacks throughout the game. Quinnen Williams and Quincy Williams were instrumental in this effort, each contributing one sack. Despite these efforts, it was clear that both teams were evenly matched as they traded possessions without significant scoring opportunities.


Second Quarter


As we moved into the second quarter, Justin Fields led Gang Green's offense effectively downfield. He completed 16 out of 22 passes for a total of 218 yards and one touchdown pass to Garrett Wilson. Wilson's performance stood out as he made seven receptions totaling 95 yards and secured one touchdown for his team.


Third Quarter


In an exciting third quarter, Breece Hall showcased his rushing prowess by accumulating 107 yards on just nineteen attempts. His longest run spanned eighteen yards and contributed significantly to maintaining offensive momentum for J-E-T-S during critical moments when they needed first downs or red zone conversions.


Fourth Quarter


The final quarter saw intense action from both sides; however, it was ultimately decided by special teams play where Xavier Gipson returned five kickoffs totaling over one hundred forty-two return yards which set up favorable field positions but unfortunately did not translate into enough points due largely due penalties incurred earlier such as those committed by John Simpson resulting fifteen penalty yardage against them overall impacting potential scoring drives negatively affecting outcome despite valiant efforts put forth across board especially defensively speaking given three forced fumbles recorded collectively among players like Marcelino McCrary-Ball who also had two tackles himself alongside others stepping up defensively throughout contest itself altogether proving pivotal factor determining eventual outcome seen here today between these two formidable opponents battling hard till very end indeed!
