Sunday was another rough day for the New York Jets, as the team was embarrassed to the tune of a 48-20 beatdown at the hands of the Jacksonville Jaguars, but it did include a moment worth appreciating.
Undrafted rookie quarterback Brady Cook made his first NFL start in Week 15 and threw the first touchdown of his career. In a season that’s been defined by frustration, it was a small but meaningful moment, especially for Cook and his family, who were in attendance to see it happen.
Cook was thrust into the starting role under difficult circumstances, stepping in with the Jets shorthanded on offense and facing a Jaguars team that quickly turned the game into a blowout.
