NEW YORK (CBSNewYork/AP) — Josh McCown saw his entire offensive line getting riled up over a penalty call that wiped out a big play for the New York Jets.
So, the veteran quarterback got his guys huddled up and told them to brush it off, that they’d make up for it on the next play.
Sure enough: Snap. Throw. Touchdown.
That 69-yard toss, a perfectly placed ball to Robby Anderson, was a key moment in the Jets’ 20-6 win over the Miami Dolphins on Sunday. It was how McCown handled the holding call on center Wesley Johnson during the previous play that exemplified exactly why the Jets wanted the journeyman quarterback here.
