It all came down to the Jets’ safety making a play to win the game.
No, not star Jamal Adams, who is usually the one providing the Jets with game-deciding plays. This time, it was his partner in the secondary, Marcus Maye, who saved the day in the Jets’ 16-10 win over the Steelers on Sunday.
Devlin “Duck” Hodges had the Steelers driving into New York territory with under a minute to play while trailing 16-10. On third-and-7, he found James Washington one-on-one with Maye down the middle of the field. Washington beat Maye to the ball and got two hands on it, but Maye, already in the air, twisted his body and extended his left arm to break up the pass in the end zone.
