The New York Jets emerged victorious against the Atlanta Falcons with a score of twenty-seven to twenty-four, thanks to a game-winning field goal by veteran kicker Nick Folk, dubbed The Folk Hero. Folks clutch performance echoed his past heroics with the team. Rookie coach Aaron Glenn brought Folk back to the team, expressing confidence in his ability to stabilize their kicking game. Jets defensive back Qwan’tez Stiggers had a personal game against his hometown team, setting up the Jets first touchdown by recovering a muffed punt. Wide receiver Adonai Mitchell also shone with eight catches for one hundred two yards and a touchdown. The Jets defense allowed Falcons running back Bijan Robinson to rush for one hundred forty-two yards and a touchdown, but they managed to limit the Falcons pass rush. Despite the win, the Jets interception drought continued, now reaching an NFL record twelve consecutive games without one.
