The New York Jets defeated the Atlanta Falcons 17-0 in each team’s first preseason game this past Friday. It was just a preseason game, so we shouldn’t overreact but there are some things worth discussing from Friday’s action.
Let’s start with what everyone’s talking about. How about the quarterback play the Jets received Friday night? Teddy Bridgewater and Sam Darnold were both terrific. Bridgewater entered the game at the start of the Jets second drive where they scored a touchdown.
A key play from that drive was the 4th and three conversion, where Bridgewater was in the pocket, stayed calm and alluded the pressure and delivered a very accurate pass to Jermaine Kearse to keep the chains moving.
