The New York Jets enjoyed their win over the Green Bay Packers so much that they decided to participate in two local traditions on Sunday. They wore a cheesehead and celebrated the upset by taking a Lambeau Leap.
The cheesehead was a gift from a Jets fan in the crowd and it was worn by SauceGardner. As he sprinted off the field and to the tunnel, he was caught by Allen Lazard. The Packers wide receiver knocked the block of cheese off the man.
"I'm going to remember this moment for the rest of my life," he said. The tribute is to the Jets fans. They put something on my head. I had to get it and run with it.
He said he wasn't bothered by the rookies gesture and praised him for his game and nickname.
The spirit is a little competitive. There's nothing too harmful in that aspect. I'm pretty sure he would do the same thing if I wore a Jets hat or helmet. Don't disrespect him.
The Jets dominated the second half, turning a 3-3 halftime score into a one-sided win. The Jets sacked Rodgers four times and hit him nine times, they outrushed Green Bay 179 yards to 60, and they scored on the blocked field goal and punt.
Who thought this would happen? The Jets improved to 4-2 for the first time in three years, winning in convincing fashion for the second week in a row. The Jets usually don't have things like this happen. It was only the second time in the last 20 years that they won by at least 17 points.
The Jets became only the second team in the Super Bowl era to have a winning record through six games even though they were the favorites in all six games. The other was the ClevelandBrowns.
"We believe we can be as great as any team in this league, and we're showing the rest of this world that we're not just a team you can write off," New York defensive tackle Sheldon Rankins said. We are going to win right now.
The Jets were led by a running back who ran for 116 yards. He was the second rookies in franchise history to record at least 100 yards from scrimmage in a game. He scored on a misdirection play to put the Jets up at the beginning of the fourth quarter.
He decided to leap into the air. It's when in Green Bay.
Before the game, all of us had talked about it. We had to do the Lambeau Leap if we scored. I don't think there were any Jets fans on the side of him scoring.
The Jets scored on a 20-yard reverse by Berrios to take a 10-3 lead. The Jets finished with 99 net passing yards and only converted one third down. They were the first team to win with less than 100 net passing yards.
The Jets wore down the Packers despite a mediocre performance from the quarterback.
The New York coach tried to downplay the significance of the win. A loss wouldn't have mattered. We need to start expecting things like this.
D.J. Reed thinks we are just getting started. On the road, we're3-0. That says a lot to everyone buying in. You feel confident. Winning is no longer unusual. It's anticipated.
New York's defense took over the game, especially tackleQuinnen Williams, who registered two sacks, a forced fumbled and a blocked field goal. The Jets knew that Rodgers was rattled by the six drops.
He was definitely upset. We wanted to see that. We want to piss off every quarterback we line up against in a violent way. I think we did a good job.
