"EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- New York Jets wide receiver Adonai Mitchell scored his first NFL touchdown Sunday, two months after he turned what should've been his first touchdown into an NFL blooper. Playing for the Indianapolis Colts, Mitchell was about to score a 75-yard touchdown in Week 4, but he let the ball go a split-second before crossing the goal line. It resulted in a touchback, a clumsy gaffe that loomed large in the Colts' seven-point loss to the Los Angeles Rams."
"This time, he enjoyed a moment of redemption with his 52-yard touchdown reception, one of the key plays in the Jets' 27-24 victory over the Atlanta Falcons at MetLife Stadium. "Yeah, that definitely crosses the mind," Mitchell said, reflecting on his earlier faux pas. "But it was a growing point and a learning point, so all I could do was grow and learn from it. And the only thing that was on my mind [Sunday] was just finish, finish, finish, finish.""
Adonai Mitchell scored his first NFL touchdown and posted his first 100-yard receiving game in the Jets' 27-24 victory over the Atlanta Falcons. Two months earlier, while with the Colts, he mistakenly released the ball before crossing the goal line on a would-be 75-yard touchdown, resulting in a touchback that affected a loss to the Rams. Mitchell had eight catches for 102 yards and made two clutch catches on the game-winning drive that ended with Nick Folk's 56-yard field goal as time expired. The Jets rallied from a seven-point fourth-quarter deficit to improve to 3-9. Mitchell joined the Jets in a trade that sent Sauce Gardner to the Colts.
