New York Jets linebacker C.J. Mosley: Tackling machine with a 'cheat code'

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- In the crucible of a deadlocked game, New York Jets linebacker C.J. Mosley did something he wasn't supposed to do. He changed the play at the line of scrimmage -- a no-no in head coach Robert Saleh's system.

On the Jets' sideline, stunned coaches barked at linebackers coach Mike Rutenberg, "Rutey, what's he doing?"

Mosley knew exactly what he was doing and it worked brilliantly, as teammate Quinnen Williams sacked quarterback Ryan Tannehill in the Jets' 27-24 overtime win over the Tennessee Titans.
