"The first half unfolded as a methodical test of patience for both teams. Neither offense found much early comfort, trading punts and short drives through a quiet opening quarter. The Jets finally broke through early in the second when their ground game, the most reliable part of their offense, guided them down the field. Breece Hall capped the possession with a two-yard touchdown run, giving New York a 7-0 lead."
"Hall's burst through the middle came after a series of efficient runs, and although he did not dominate in terms of yardage, his efforts helped stabilize the Jets' offensive identity. Atlanta answered just before halftime, executing a well-timed drive that chewed the clock and forced the Jets' defense into extended coverage. With nine seconds remaining in the half, Tyler Allgeier plunged in for a 1-yard touchdown, tying the game at seven apiece and shifting the momentum heading into the locker room."
Nick Folk hit a 56-yard field goal as time expired to lift the New York Jets to a 27-24 victory over the Atlanta Falcons. A late Falcons punt and a 16-yard Isaiah Williams return set up a short drive finished by Tyrone Taylor's 14-yard scramble and completions to Adonai Mitchell that positioned Folk. The Jets improved to 3-9 after starting 0-7. Breece Hall scored on a two-yard run in the second quarter. Atlanta tied the game before halftime and Bijan Robinson produced 142 yards on 23 carries with a third-quarter touchdown.
