I said it a couple weeks ago – Carl Lawson was not far from breaking out. Despite a relatively quiet start to the season, Lawson looked to be in peak physical condition and was getting better each week. He just needed time to regain his rhythm after sitting out an entire season.
In Week 5, Lawson found his rhythm again. It resulted in the most dominant performance by a New York Jets edge rusher in many years.
Lawson collected seven quarterback hits against Miami, setting a Jets franchise record since the stat was first tracked in 2006.
