The penultimate game of the New York Jets‘ 2021 season somehow should’ve satisfied almost every green football fan in the tri-state area.
Those who cherish each loss as a token to move up the 2022 draft board exhaled when Tom Brady found Cyril Grayson for a 33-yard score with 15 seconds remaining, the finishing touch of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ 28-24 victory. The other half that pulls for the Jets each and every Sunday no matter how dire the circumstance could at least take solace in the fact that Zach Wilson put in another consistent effort, this one coming against not only the metropolitan demon that is Brady but also the fearsome defense of the defending Super Bowl champions.
