Breaking an 8-game streak, the New York Jets displayed a remarkable offensive resurgence against the Houston Texans, scoring touchdowns on back-to-back drives. Quarterback Zach Wilson led the team to multiple touchdowns, completing 19 of 26 passes, including his 7th TD pass of the season to Randall Cobb, marking Cobb's first TD of the season, and a run by Xavier Gipson. The Jets' defense held strong, capitalizing on the Texans' poor pass rush and limiting them to -10 passing yards. The game concluded with a 21-14 victory for the Jets.
The Jets are humiliating the Texans on both sides of the ball. Another impressive TD drive by Wilson, who completed 5 passes for 47 yards. He's carving up the Texans defense that has no pass rush and terrible coverage. Gipson with a 9-yard TD run for a 14-0 lead.
The Jets just went up two scores after another scoring drive led by Zach Wilson, who is 19 of 26 for 216 yards and a TD. Texans playing without their top 3 receiving targets. Will be difficult to mount a comeback against this Jets' defense.
Xavier Gipson scores on the end aroundβand the Jets are now up 14-0 on the Texans in a monsoon at MetLife. Zach Wilson took them 69 yards in eight plays, and they're down to 4:31 left in the third. Fifth win in sight.
This is the first time the Jets have scored multiple offensive touchdowns since their Oct. 1 game against the Chiefs

Xavier Gipson scores on a nine-yard touchdown. Jets offense dare I say is rolling in the second half
Another TD for the Jets! An offensive explosion! Gipson on the end around. #Jets
The Jets now have three offensive TDs in their last six games.
Let's get crazy for a second: Could the #Jets score another offensive TD? They've gone 8 straight games without scoring more than 1 offensive TD. The last time it happened was the KC game.

What an embarrassing series for the Texans. They allow Wilson to open the third quarter throwing down the field, and he torches them, including a 15-yard TD pass to Randall Cobb. Just a terrible series. Props to Wilson and OC Nathaniel Hackett. Jets lead 7-0.

It's the first game the Jets have been involved in with a 0-0 halftime score since Week 4, 2007 at Bills (ultimately lost that game 17-14), per @ESPNStatsInfo #Jets
Texans-Jets are one more half and overtime away from the NFL's first scoreless tie since Giants-Lions in 1943.
This is the first game where both teams had 0 points and 5+ punts in the first half since Packers-Lions in 2010, per @ESPNStatsInfo #Jets #Texans
Jets, Texans play scoreless first half at MetLife Stadium. https://t.co/YLzFj2ihuG
The Jets............ https://t.co/8IGOJJvzYb
No score in the rain at halftime. Jets have 100 yards to the Texans 63. Texans have minus-4 yards passing cause of two Stroud sacks. Stroud is 6 of 12 for 26 yards and a 56.2 rating. Wilson is 9 of 215 for 92 yards and a 77.6 rating.
After the Texans went three and out in the rain, the defense let the Jets get to the Houston 27. Zach Wilson was perfect on 4 passes for 49 yards. On third down at the 27, Wilson was sacked for a 10-yard loss by Greenard and Rankins. That gives Greenard a career -high 8.5.
Zach Wilson 3/3 to start the game as the Jets get another first down
Zach Wilson first throw is complete to Garrett Wilson for a first down, 16 yards
Crowd at MetLife cheers as Zach Wilson and the #Jets offense take the field.
π#Texans at #Jets Matchup of the day: Jets pass defense vs. C.J. Stroud Jets ranked 3rd vs pass (192 ypg); 30 straight games without a 300-yard passer. Stroud leads NFL with 3,540 yards; on pace to shatter Andrew Luck's rookie record (4,374).
π#Texans at #Jets Jets (4-8) try to avoid their 8th straight losing season. They've gone 8 straight games scoring no more than 1 offensive TD, 1 shy of the 2011 Chiefs for the 2nd-longest streak since the 1970 merger, behind the '77 Packers (13 straight), per @EliasSports
