The Jets topped the Washington Commanders 20-17 on a late field goal from Austin Seibert in their preseason opener. Virtually all of Gang Green’s offensive starters were on the bench with the exception of center Joe Tippmann.
And the good news for the Jets is not only the victory, but the fact that young players made plays on both sides of the ball.
Who impressed?
CB Jarrick Bernard-Converse: The college cornerback turned safety is now an NFL safety turned cornerback and he did not disappoint. Bernard-Converse gave up a big catch early on but had perfect coverage on Dyami Brown who hauled in a one-handed catch on a perfectly thrown ball.
