Mougey attended the Mangold funeral, stood in the back of the church and left early to finalize 2 trades that would change the franchise.
Mourners (many ex-Jets, including Revis) heard the news outside the church. A surreal scene. An epic day: #Jets espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/4687…
It was just a two-man route (Wilson and Taylor, both deep). Jets were in max protect. Fields didn't see the defender. Disaster.
Justin Fields throws his first INT of the season. He had gone 10 straight starts without an INT, one shy of the league mark. Brady, Hurts and Herbert had 11 straight. #Jets
The Jets are awful on offense, and you can't blame it on trades or injuries. This has been their starting lineup all year. Just bad football. #Jets
A game-changing INT: Gabriel to Jeudy for a 22-yard TD over Stephens. That's NOT complementary football. #Jets

Rookie CB Az Thomas is being evaluated for a concussion, per #Jets
McDonald with the third-down sack. The sacks have been few and far between for the #Jets -- only 7 in the previous 7 games. Way too little for a defense predicated on pressure.
With Thomas out, the Jets moved Brownlee to outside CB, where he promptly gets called for interference. Now Moore in the slot. #Jets
And now Thomas is on his feet and walks to the sideline under his own power.
Scary scene: Az Thomas motionless on the ground. Took a shot to the head by teammate Jamien Sherwood. Spine board is out, medical personnel surrounding Thomas. #Jets

Here's something you don't see every day:
#Jets first-quarter:
6 plays
0 first downs
14 points
Who's having Chad Morton flashbacks, vs Buffalo?
Get a load of these factoids, via ESPN Research:
The Jets are the first team since the Ravens in 2017 Week 6 to have a punt return TD and kickoff return TD in the same game.
The last team to do it in the same quarter was the 2013 Chiefs (Week 14).
The last team to do it in the 1st quarter was the 2007 Chargers (Week 10). #Jets

Last Jets punt return TD was Xavier Gipson's walkoff TD against the Bills in the 2023 season opener
And now they've done it again ... on a punt return. Isaiah Williams to the house, a 74-yard TD. #Jets

And this ...
a 99-yard Kickoff return by Kene Nwangwu... the Jets sure missed him. #Jets
A 95-yard drive, aided by two defensive penalties. Rough one for the secondary -- Thomas (pass interference) + Brownlee (holding penalty + TD allowed).
Gabriel a 9-yard TD pass to Njoku, wide open on play action. Brownlee the closest defender. Browns up, 7-0. #Jets

Quincy Williams is on the field now; Jets in their 4-3 base. So Williams is now LB3. #Jets
Good start for the #Jets D: A new-look lineup, with Walker at LB (for Quincy Williams), Tufele at DT (for Quinnen Williams) and Az Thomas at CB (for Gardner).
Nice pre-game tribute by D'Brickashaw Ferguson, who spoke to the crowd about his former teammate. Mangold's family out for the coin toss. Myles Garrett walks over and shakes the hand of Mangold's widow. Nice touch. #Jets
