Jets come back from down 14 to top Eagles in preseason finale
WR J.J. JONES SCORES ON A 66 YARD CATCH AND RUN
The Jets spotted the Eagles 14 first half points as Philadelphia played a number of starters while the Jets did not. New York came storming back to win the game 24-14 as several fringe roster players made an impact.
The one significant position battle still left to be decided coming into the game was between Davis Webb and Trevor Siemian for the backup QB spot. Siemian went 2/5 for 32 yards in the first quarter. Webb was 6/13 for 89 yards and a score and a pick.
Luke Falk finally got to play, taking all the second half snaps and finishing 13/17 for 238 yards with a score and a pick. He may have earned himself a practice squad spot with the performance.
Jalin Moore got the bulk of the carries and picked up 85 yards on 14 carries. The team is likely trying to decide between him and Cannon at the bottom of the RB depth chart. Cannon gained just six yards on four carries.
J.J. Jones caught three passes for 91 yards including a 66 yard catch and run touchdown from Falk. Ryan Griffin had 86 yards on four receptions and Daniel Brown, star of the preseason, caught five passes for 79 yards.
Alex Lewis, who took several reps at right tackle, struggled in pass blocking and gave up a trio of sacks.
Blake Cashman led the team with five tackles, Brandon Bryant and James Burgess each added four. Tarrell Basham recorded a pair of sacks and Quinnen Williams added one as well.
Taylor Bertolet hit all three extra point attempts and connected on a 37 yard fourth quarter field goal.
Lac Edwards punted four times averaging 47.2 yards with a 47 yard net average.
Jamison Crowder returned one kick for 23 yards and Ty Montgomery returned three punts for 31 yards.
