Misery Index · Meh
Jets fans toasting a 39-38 win for the late No. 74 while quietly noting they nearly blew it to Cincinnati.
The emotional rollercoaster
Fan misery across the game window. Up is worse.
What happened
J.Brownlee breaking up the J.Flacco pass to A.Iosivas with 32 seconds left saved a 39-38 win that nobody quite knew how to feel about. The defense gave up 38 to Cincinnati and still got bailed out by a stop, which is the kind of math that wins a week and worries the next one. The fanbase celebrated, mourned, and side-eyed the box score all at once. A win is a win, until the film loads.
