New York did the exact opposite that everyone thought they would do today. The offense came out hot, again, leading their 8th game-opening scoring drive in a row. After forcing the Rams into three straight 3-and-outs, newly signed J.T. Hassell made a phenomenal special teams play, blocking Johnny Hekker’s kick. This set the Jets up to take an early 10-0 lead. After a beautiful Bryce Hall one-handed interception, and each team adding a field goal before the break, New York took a 13-3 into the locker room. Sam Darnold had things clicking with quick passes, going 11/15 for 72 yards and 1 TD in the first half.
