Grading the Jets in NFL Week 8 vs. Cincinnati Bengals
OFFENSE: A
The Jets showed up for Halloween looking like a fully functioning offense. Mike White was a big reason for that. He played an unbelievable game in his first NFL start. White threw for 405 yards, three touchdown passes and even caught a two-point conversion. Rookie Michael Carter also was huge, finishing with 172 yards in total offense. As a team, the Jets racked up 511 yards of offense, en route to 34 points. They came into this game averaging 272.3 yards per game and just 13.3 points. White led the Jets on a touchdown drive on the first series and two touchdowns in the first half. The Jets hadn’t scored in the first quarter or led in the first half before this game.
DEFENSE: B+
