The New York Jets earned a rejuvenating 34-31 win over the Bengals on Halloween afternoon – but it took a handful of small miracles for it to happen. Cincinnati owned an 11-point lead with under five minutes left in the ballgame. Some Mike White heroics, a timely Shaq Lawson interception, and a questionable penalty call were needed for New York to steal the victory.
All of that is to say this: the Jets were nowhere near perfect in this game. There are plenty of areas in which they struggled and must improve going forward.
Most of the team’s issues came on the defensive side of the ball.
