In many ways, this game was more about Joe Namath‘s fiery halftime speech — 50 years since 1968’s Super Bowl champs defeated Johnny Unitas‘ Colts, then based in Baltimore — exhorting all New York Jets fans to jump on this Sam Darnold bandwagon. The rabid fanbase waived their white 50th-anniversary towels with abandon and exited the Meadowlands parking lot with smiles on their collective faces. Gang Green supporters have good reason to swallow this Kool-Aid.
Give it up for preseason replacement kicker Jason Myers. The former Jaguars booter straight outta Poughkeepsie’s Marist, set a team record, 7/7 on FGs, including four high-pressure second-half boots.
