QB Tyrod Taylor Dominates in Fourth Quarter
Stepping in for an injured Justin Fields, QB Tyrod Taylor efficiently commanded the Jets' offense early, leading the team to FGs on the first two possessions. It was in the fourth quarter, though, that the veteran signal caller really found a rhythm. Taylor orchestrated two scoring drives to bring the game within reach late, completing 12-of-15 passes for 117 yards and a 138.8 passer rating.
