Denzel Mims caught a short pass and turned it into a big gain, running by, through and over Giants as if he had something to prove.

"I always try to play angry," Mims said.

Mims seemed to be a little more than angry as he carried Giants with him to a first down that set up the Jets’ lone touchdown drive in Saturday night's 12-7 preseason victory.
