EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — The New York Jets scored their first first-quarter touchdown of the season — and all it took was a little flip to running back Breece Hall on Sunday against the New York Giants.
On a first down from midfield, quarterback Zach Wilson found Hall out of the backfield on a short pass. Hall did the rest, eluding linebackers Bobby Okereke and Micah McFadden and sprinting for a 50-yard touchdown.
It included 49 yards after the catch, as Hall reached a max speed of 20.58 mph, per Next Gen Stats. It was Hall's third 50-yard play from scrimmage, tying him with the Dolphins' wide receiver Tyreek Hill and running back De'Von Achane for the most in the NFL.
It gave the Jets a 7-3 lead with 1:06 left in the first quarter. Breece Hall is too dangerous in the open field. Touchdown Jets
