00:00half. Now, if you joined us for the halftime show here on pro
00:02football today, then you heard Tom mentioned that he had hope
00:05that there was going to be more spark coming in hot for the
00:08Jets in the second half. And that's exactly what we saw. They
00:10didn't allow some of those plays to completely deflate them. As a
00:13matter of fact, challenging some of those plays, getting the
00:16calls finally on their side and then being able to pick up some
00:18offensive plays help them get in position to pull off a big
00:21victory 21 to 13 topping the Texans. So Jets finally get in
00:25the W column, you saw a lot of emotion on the sidelines. Most
00:28importantly, as you called it, Tom, what did you see in that
00:31second half?
00:32Yeah, when it comes down to for the Texans, like their defense
00:36and just like the health of their players, like they were
00:38just facing attrition at a certain point, like they just
00:41dealing with injuries, backups were getting in there. And no,
00:43ultimately, the Jets like move the ball pretty well. Again,
00:45that first half the player Conley, Malachi Conley dropped
00:50the ball at the goal. And they could have a touchdown. So they
00:53were kind of moving a little bit on offense. And then it just
00:56wasn't there. And because of the injuries, Rogers eventually
00:59is going to start picking apart defense, no matter how slow they
01:01start. We've seen the Jets kind of come alive at second half
01:04sometimes. And listen, Rogers 2232 to 11, and three
01:08touchdowns. Like that's not the most amazing stat line, but
01:10three touchdowns and and 22 completions is pretty good. A
01:14solid game from Brees Hall on the ground. Amazing stuff from
01:19Garrett Wilson. First of all, that couch is just absolutely
01:21awesome. Like that's what we want to see nine for 92 for him.
01:25And then of course, the Bonte Adams with that late touchdown,
01:27which I am certainly very thankful for. But you'd like to
01:31say this is like an encouraging sign for the Jets. And as long
01:35as they can bring a like, bring what they did in the in the
01:39third and fourth quarter, like that opening third quarter
01:41drive, when they got the ball at a halftime was like picture
01:44perfect. They move the ball, they mix the run, they mix the
01:47pass, like, bring that for the entire game. And if their
01:50defense can, you know, kind of hold things down and continue
01:52to get pressure, like they can start to put together some
01:55wins. Now granted, the Texans don't have digs, don't have
01:58columns. We all spoke about this. Everyone's been talking
02:00about this. So the Texans weren't operating at full
02:03health. We know that they also have a horrible offensive line.
02:05But if the Jets defense can do parts of what they did, and the
02:08Jets offense can have that a little more consistency or
02:10fourth quarters, they can string together some wins. I'm not
02:13gonna say they're gonna win the division, but they still have a
02:15shot at making the playoff.
