From Zach Wilson to Alijah Vera-Tucker, you already know about the headline-grabbing heroes behind the New York Jets‘ 24-20 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers.
We’re here to discuss some of the unsung heroes.
These five Jets were instrumental parts of the team’s second victory.
EDGE Jermaine Johnson
Jermaine Johnson only played 22 snaps (34% of the defensive plays) but he made them count. Johnson recorded a trio of big stops. He had a sack and tossed in two run stuffs for short gains.
The rookie is still working on perfecting his consistency as a pass rusher, but his run defense has been terrific from the get-go.
