The New York Jets faced the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday at MetLife Stadium.
Tony Adams caught the ball and started running toward the end zone as MetLife Stadium erupted in noise around him.
Everything has seemed to go against the Jets this season. And yet against all odds, they arrive at the bye at 3-3 and in the heat of the AFC playoff race, with the schedule easing up — they return from the bye in two weeks to play the lowly Giants after handing the Eagles their first loss of the season.
Beating the defending NFC champions would have been a tall order for the Jets even if they were at full strength. But after losing Aaron Rodgers on the fourth snap of the season, they were always going to be big underdogs to the Eagles. Rodgers was on the field before the game, giving the Jets and their fans some hope that he can still make an impact on this team — perhaps even later this season.
And yet, they were able to hang in there throughout most the game, despite some bad breaks and questionable calls. Instead of getting the ball at the 9, the Jets got it at the Eagles 49 and were force to punt. But the defense managed to force the Eagles off the field on the next drive and the Jets narrowed the gap to 14-12 in the final minute of the third quarter.
