Ty Montgomery can look at Saturday night’s performance one of two ways.
He can be thrilled with his overall effort, his touchdown reception and 45 total yards. Or he can be annoyed by his first touch, a fumble after a 5-yard gain that led to a Saints field goal.
It was a mixed night for the versatile running back, as it was for the Jets’ offense in their 28-13 loss to the Saints at MetLife Stadium in the first team’s final tune-up prior to the regular season opener Sept. 8 against the Bills.
Montgomery, the 26-year-old former Raven and Packer, was heavily in the mix, as he has been throughout the preseason as Le’Veon Bell was kept out by coach Adam Gase.
