Takeaways from the Jets’ 27-24 victory over the Falcons:
1. Give Chris Banjo a raise. Hiring Banjo as his special teams coordinator looks like one of the best moves Aaron Glenn has made since he was hired as Jets coach. The Jets special teams came up huge again Sunday and helped the Jets win their third game of the season.
The Jets’ first touchdown came after their punt coverage team recovered a muffed punt at the 2-yard line. Qwan’tez Stiggers recovered the ball and set up a Breece Hall touchdown. Then, Isaiah Williams had an 83-yard kickoff return that set up a Nick Folk field goal that tied the game at 17-17. Punter Austin McNamara was consistent all day, as he has been all season. Folk capped off the game with a 56-yard game-winning field goal.
This is the second of the Jets’ three wins that was highlighted by special teams plays. Banjo continues to do a terrific job in his first year with the Jets.
