Well, how about that?
Just a couple of days after I called out the New York Jets for playing “scared football,” Robert Saleh‘s squad put forth an aggressive and inspiring effort against Andy Reid’s Kansas City Chiefs.
Finally, the Jets’ gameplan featured the quarterback as opposed to hiding him and thus relying on the defense. Finally, Saleh and company allowed young Zach Wilson to showcase his talents on first and second down.
Right from the jump, Nathaniel Hackett’s game plan was evident. More early-down receiver screens via Garrett Wilson and play-action efforts when the opposing defense is entirely on its toes too much, unfolded in glorious fashion.
