The New York Jets’ 39–38 win over the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday was as emotional as it was improbable. On the same day the team learned of Nick Mangold’s passing, the Jets' offensive line — a unit Mangold once anchored — delivered one of the most dominant performances in recent memory.
The Jets piled up more than 500 yards of offense and nearly 250 on the ground, controlling the trenches in a way that felt like a tribute to the late franchise legend.
No one embodied that spirit more than Joe Tippmann.
