For once the Jets played to win, not to lose, and it worked out in the end

Q: How did the Jets finally finish a game?

A: They didn’t panic with the game on the line. They played to win rather than not to lose. It was a positive step because so many times this team, in recent years and in Week 1, crumbled after building a lead.

They were up 21-3 in this game and needed a huge stop on a two-point conversion to close out this win, and they got it when Jamal Adams blitzed Dak Prescott and forced him to throw it quick and it fell incomplete.
