Even for offenses featuring Hall of Fame quarterbacks and Pro Bowl-caliber skill-position players, there’s just nothing like receiving a big-play boost from the special teams to kick things into great. In their matchup against the Jaguars, the New York Jets — fearlessly rolling the dice during an opening-drive 4th & 5 — sent a message through a 21-yard fake punt run, courtesy of Ashtyn Davis. From there, it became “The Aaron Rodgers Show,” with New York's celebrated signal caller dialing up plays to Garrett Wilson for 19 and 22-yard connections, the latter of which prompting a game-tying touchdown. In what tied for their highest-scoring offensive performance of the 2024 season, the Jets rode that early-game reward to a 32-25 win over Jacksonville on Dec. 15, 2024.
