ERIC BERRY LOOKS IN A PASS FROM PUNTER LAC EDWARDS TO CONVERT A KEY THIRD QUARTER FOURTH DOWN
The Jets and Browns decided not to play defense on Monday Night Football as the two teams combined for 97 points and 1,012 yards of offense. The Jets took possession with 1:48 left to play trailing by three and Sam Darnold went 5/6 for 75 yards on the drive, capping it with a 13 yard touchdown pass to Ty Montgomery. The Jets then forced a four and out by the Browns and added a field goal as time expired, much to the chagrin of the Browns and especially head coach Freddie Kitchens.
Sam Darnold threw for 396 yards and seven touchdowns in the win while his counterpart, Baker Mayfield, threw for 389 yards but just one score. Kareem Hunt ran for 104 yards and four scores.
"The offensive line just played incredible tonight." Darnold replied when asked about his performance. In fact they did, giving up just one sack and holding Myles Garrett completely statless.
Punter Lac Edwards completed a pass to Eric Berry for a gain of 23 yards late in the third quarter, setting up Darnold's second touchdown pass to Montgomery a few plays later.
"Those guys basically have the green light on that." Coach Dave Portega explained. "They know what the look we're after is and we let them make that call. Honestly I didn't see the play. We were getting our defense ready and I missed it."
Portega also addressed the last second field goal.
"Just getting guys reps. There's going to be games where we need him to hit a kick like that and we're going to take those reps. We're not out here looking to be liked by other teams."
Runningback Bilal Powell suffered an injury in the loss and will be evaluated Tuesday. Le'Veon Bell was injured last week and the Jets are already thin at the position.
