The NY Jets can’t afford to stiff Braxton Berrios—and Joe Douglas knows it

On the afternoon of Dec. 26, 2021, a father turned to his son and said, “That (just) won (them) the game.”

MetLife Stadium served as the setting, the Jacksonville Jaguars repressed the opponents, and Braxton Berrios provided the inspiration for the New York Jets to come away with the 26-21 victory.

Wayne Chrebet, playing the role of football father on this day, turned so suddenly to his son, after Berrios’s 12-yard third-down catch (one that resembled something No. 80 would often execute for his Jets teammates in the late 1990s and early 2000s), and reminded him just how important the human element means in football.
