"The Jets celebrated in the end zone, jumping on and slapping Will McDonald following his dramatic special teams touchdown. Aaron Glenn ran down the sideline and then high-stepped a little when McDonald ran in the go-ahead score. It was quite a scene for the Jets. Dramatic. Emotional. Euphoric."
"Trailing 23-6 in the fourth quarter, the Jets' offense finally showed up. They scored three touchdowns in a span of under nine minutes. The last one was on McDonald's blocked field goal that he picked up and ran 50 yards for the score that made it 27-26 with 1:49 left. He hurdled over the offensive line to make the game-changing play."
""We're not the same team as what everyone says, ' Same Old Jets," Glenn said. "These guys are going to fight, no matter what the situation is. There's no give-up in them. I hate that term, and I really don't know what that term means. But I know this. They are not the Same Old Jets. These guys are fighters.""
The Jets overcame a 17-point fourth-quarter deficit to briefly take a 27-26 lead when Will McDonald returned a blocked field goal 50 yards, hurdling over the offensive line. Chase McLaughlin kicked a 36-yard field goal with no time left to give the Buccaneers a 29-27 victory. Early turnovers, penalties and ineffective offensive play contributed to the large deficit. The loss dropped the Jets to 0-3 in Aaron Glenn's first three games as head coach. Glenn emphasized the team's fight, and players described McDonald's play and the comeback as monumental.
