Jets takeaways, report card from NFL Week 10 win over Browns
NY Post
Takeaways from the Jets’ 27-20 victory over the Browns on Sunday.
1. Winning is the great deodorant so the stink of the Jets offense was covered up on Sunday. But don’t let the feel-good vibes after the Jets’ second straight win mask the problems that remain on the Jets offense. It starts with quarterback Justin Fields, who threw for only 12 yards if you take away the 42-yard screen pass to Breece Hall. Fields did not build off his strong game in Cincinnati. The Jets can’t consider a quarterback change on a short week, but if Fields plays terribly in New England on Thursday, they may have to go to Tyrod Taylor against the Ravens.
2. Breece Hall said after the game that coach Aaron Glenn told him that he is going to ride him for the rest of the season. Now, the Jets need to do it before the fourth quarter. Hall had 12 carries before the fourth quarter on Sunday and nine in the fourth quarter, plus his 42-yard touchdown on a screen pass. The Jets got no offensive rhythm going early, partly because of the long kick returns, but it is imperative that the Jets start to ride Hall more. He is this team’s home-run hitter. Let him swing.
3. One of the most underrated pickups of the Joe Douglas era was kick returner Kene Nwangwu. His 99-yard kickoff return for a touchdown on Sunday was a huge spark for the Jets and the fifth return touchdown of his career. The problem with Nwangwu is he struggles to stay healthy. This was his first game back after a concussion sidelined him against Cincinnati. But when he is on the field, he is a threat to get to the end zone every time he touches the ball.

The whirlwind of the first few days of NFL free agency came and went last week, and the Giants played their part in adding to the player movement frenzy.

TAMPA — You can make it about just one inning. Or that it still will only be March 18. Or about the miles left to go.
John Harbaugh could have looked at two offensive linemen the Giants selected in the 2022 draft, reviewed their performance on the field the past four years, said “No thanks,’’ and no one would have given him a hard time about it.
