Sunday marked the first time Jets fans got to see safety Jamal Adams at MetLife Stadium and the rookie showed he belongs on Broadway.
In the first half, Adams racked up his first professional sack, a pair of stops behind the line of scrimmage and a pass defensed as well. He set the tone for the run defense on Jay Ajayi’s first carry, briefly sending the talented running back to the sideline after upending him for a 2-yard loss.
Later in the first quarter, a threat of an Adams pressure forced T Ja’Waun James into a false start.
