Misery Index · Uneasy
Jets fans torn between loving Fields and wanting Gipson run out of town after a 34-32 loss they almost stole.
The emotional rollercoaster
Fan misery across the game window. Up is worse.
What happened
The K.Gainwell fumble on the opening kickoff of the fourth quarter flipped a game the Jets were actually winning, and C.Boswell's 60-yarder with 1:08 left made sure A.Rodgers never got a clean shot at the answer. Touchdowns to G.Wilson and C.Austin proved the offense can hang, but a defense that lets a kicker win it from 60 leaves a familiar question: can this roster ever have both sides working on the same Sunday?
