Jets Defense Comes Up Big In Week 1 Win

Jets Defense Comes Up Big In Week 1 Win

one year ago

The New York Jets allowed just 16 points to the Buffalo Bills and recorded five sacks and four takeaways in the Week 1 victory. While New York's defense led the charge throughout regulation, it was the Jets' special teams unit that secured the victory in overtime with a 65-yard punt return for a touchdown by rookie Xavier Gipson. Although New York was expected to have one of the best defenses in the NFL, the Jets DST proved to be a matchup-proof fantasy option on Monday night with a strong showing against a high-powered offense. Another tough matchup is on tap for Week 2, but the Jets can still be started against the Dallas Cowboys.
