Week 1 didn’t end in a win for the New York Jets, thanks in part to Xavier Gipson’s fumble that set up a quick Steelers touchdown, but they still went toe-to-toe with friend-turned-foe Aaron Rodgers’ passing attack and held their own both through the air and on the ground.
However, the Jets played competitive football, something that couldn’t be said for other AFC teams in Week 1, such as the Miami Dolphins, who were blown out 33-8 by the Colts, with all eight points coming late in the fourth quarter.
Quarterback Tua Tagovailoa managed just 114 yards with two interceptions and a lost fumble, while the Dolphins mustered only 78 rushing yards.
