Nathaniel Hackett got the last laugh, and the New York Jets are continuing to show the support that they gave him throughout the week.
The game had heightened significance for New York due to Sean Payton’s inflammatory comments about Hackett and the Jets this offseason.
NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported that the Jets made Hackett their fourth captain before the game. After the game, Robert Saleh gave the game ball to “Hack” to the cheers of Jets players.
How sweet is this?
After practice on Fridays, the #Jets always announce their fourth captain.
