Paycor was popping and the vibes were tense, because the Jets rolled in at 0-7 and Joe Flacco was staring down one of his old squads. Cincinnati punched first — a Flacco sneak and a 44-yard dime to Tee Higgins had the stripes feeling comfy — but the script flipped late and the Meadowlands men stole a thriller, NYJ 39, CIN 38. That’s the Jets’ first W of 2025, and it came against Flacco’s Bengals, adding a little extra spice to the stew. (espn.com)

Then the ground game grabbed the wheel. Breece Hall started cooking like it was a fall chili cook-off: 18 carries, 133 yards, 2 rushing TDs, plus the play-call of the day — more on that in a sec. Justin Fields kept the chains moving (21/32, 244 yards, TD; 11 rushes, 31), Isaiah Davis splashed a 50-yard burst to light the second-half fuse, and Tyler Johnson hit paydirt before the fourth-quarter avalanche. New York piled up a big-boy 502 total yards with a rumbling 254 on the ground, and when it mattered most, they marched.

Cincy had answers all afternoon — Flacco: 21/34, 223 yards, 2 TD + rush TD; Samaje Perine: 9 for 94 and a house call; Chase Brown: 12 for 73 and a TD; and Ja’Marr Chase: 12 grabs for 91 — but the Jets defense bowed up late. A clutch Will McDonald IV sack stalled a drive, the Bengals went quiet in the final two minutes, and momentum wore orange down to a whisper.

And that trickery? Straight dill-licious. With the Jets needing the knockout, Hall pulled the rabbit out of the jar — a 4-yard TD pass to TE Mason Taylor to cap the comeback after his earlier 27-yard scoring sprint had cracked the door. That razzle-dazzle made the rounds for a reason, and it’s exactly how Gang Green finally got off the schneid. (sbnation.com)
