Defense. This was the Jets’ only chance to win this game, to upset the Super Bowl runner-up Eagles on Sunday at MetLife Stadium.
And it was precisely what stole this game, resuscitated the Jets’ season and sent them into their bye week at 3-3.
The final act of the day on defense was safety Tony Adams stepping in front of Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert, picking Jalen Hurts off and returning the ball 45 yards to the Philadelphia 8-yard line with the Jets trailing 14-12 and 1:50 remaining in a game their offense seemed determined to waste.New York Jets’ Tony Adams, center, runs with the ball after an interception during the second half of an NFL football game against the Philadelphia Eagles, Sunday, Oct. 15, 2023, in East Rutherford, N.
The game was close thanks to massive contributions from Jermaine Johnson, C.J. Mosley, Quinnen Williams, Quincy Williams, Bryce Hall, Solomon Thomas and Adams. And that’s naming only a few of the Jets defensive players who played marvelously. Later in the first half, Mosley, the emotional leader of the Jets’ defense, violently separated Swift from the ball with 1:40 remaining before the intermission.
