What did the Jets do to show unity during the national anthem?

The Jets decided late in the week that they would remain inside the locker room during the national anthem. The Bills also stayed in their locker room. Sam Darnold said it was "just a coincidence" that both teams did the same thing in their protest for social justice.

"We just decided as a unit that we were going to hold out and stay inside for the national anthem," safety Marcus Maye said.
