As the Jets try to break their September drought in Week 2 against the Browns, two rookies found themselves in the end zone for the first time as pro football players.
With New York down 7-0 at the start of the second quarter, quarterback Joe Flacco floated a ball to the sideline for Garrett Wilson, and the first-year wide receiver out of Ohio State did the rest of the work:

Facing a 14-7 deficit with time winding down in the first half, Flacco and the Jets found themselves in the red zone once again. The veteran signal-caller registered another touchdown pass in the process. This one was to running back Breece Hall, which tied the game once again as both squads went into the locker room at halftime:

At the time of this writing, New York and Cleveland are about to start the fourth quarter, with the Jets down 17-14. So, the Jets will need to get a few more big plays if they’d like to get themselves into the win column for the first time in 2022.
