He finished the night with 127 rushing yards on 10 carries while also adding 20 yards as a receiver, catching one of his two targets.
Defensive spotlight: Jets safety Jordan Whitehead had the game of his life from a turnover perspective. The most interceptions he’d recorded in a single season in his five-year career was two. On Monday night alone, he recorded three.

Safe to say White head’s coverage grade will be one of the best in the league from Week 1.
Rookie spotlight: Bills rookie tight end Dalton Kincaid had a solid first regular season game of his career.
