The Jets have never been so happy to see a touchdown scored against them.
Browns running back Nick Chubb had scored on a 12-yard run to give Cleveland a 30-17 lead with 1:55 remaining and yet the Jets sideline was buoyant with hope.“They scored and the echo on the [coaches’] headset was that they gave us a chance, let’s see what happens,’’ Jets head coach Robert Saleh said. “I’ve never been so happy for a missed tackle in my life.’’
“If Chubb goes down at the 1-yard line, they win the football game,’’ Jets center Connor McGovern told The Post afterward. “Once he scored and I saw 1:55 on the clock, I said, ‘We have an opportunity here.’“I couldn’t imagine being a running back and seeing the end zone and just going down. I don’t know if I could do it, just to see that end zone and everything you do to work to get to that end zone.’’“We had the benefit of getting the opportunity on that last touchdown from Chubb,’’ Saleh said.
“That is a scenario where that is on me to communicate that to the huddle,’’ he said. “We have done that before. Having said that, we need to close the game out. Everything that happens on the field is my responsibility. I am not going to hide from that and I am not going to point fingers.’’Saleh said he’ll use that as a teaching moment for his own team.
