Jets' grades: Defense gets an A-

OFFENSE: It wasn’t pretty and plenty of yards and points were left on the field. But the Jets played a clean game. Sam Darnold helped engineer three touchdown drives. He threw two TD passes and was a blocker on a third. Slot receiver Jamison Crowder threw a 43-yard touchdown pass to slot receiver Braxton Berrios, who lined up at tailback. That started a run of 20 unanswered points. Darnold didn’t throw a pick and the Jets didn’t turn the ball over. But they had a couple of opportunities to put the game away. They needed the defense to shut down Cleveland.
