In a dramatic turn of events, the New York Jets secured a narrow victory over the Washington Commanders with a final score of 30-28. The Jets had a strong start, scoring 17 points in the first quarter, which was their highest in a first quarter since 2014. Breece Hall contributed significantly with two rushing touchdowns, including a 36-yard TD run, and a total of 191 rushing yards. The Jets' defense and special teams played a crucial role, with Jermaine Johnson blocking a punt that led to Jason Brownlee's first career touchdown. Greg Zuerlein's 25-yard field goal and Tony Adams' interception also contributed to the Jets' early lead. Despite a comfortable 27-7 lead at halftime, the Jets saw their advantage diminish in the second half as the Commanders, led by quarterback Jacoby Brissett who replaced Sam Howell, mounted a comeback to take a 28-27 lead. Sam Howell's performance was lackluster, completing only 5 of 17 passes for 51 yards with an interception. On the other side, Jets quarterback Trevor Siemian completed 15 of 26 passes for 131 yards with a touchdown. However, the Jets managed to get into field goal territory in the final minute, allowing them to clinch the game with a last-second field goal after Chris Rodriguez Jr.'s 12-yard TD run had earlier cut the lead to 27-21.

#Jets have to settle for a FG after Tony Adams' INT. Zuerlein's 25-yard FG gives NY a 3-0 lead over Washington with 13:00 left in 1Q.
And the #Jets settle for a FG ... because of course. They have only 1 TD in the first quarter for the season.
