The second turnover by a Jets opponent this season led to the first Jets points of Sunday’s game.
Falcons punt returner Jamel Agnew muffed an attempt to field a kick early in the second quarter and Jets cornerback Qwan’tez Stiggers recovered the ball on Atlanta’s 2-yard line. Running back Breece Hall punched the ball into the end zone on the next play.
The result is a 7-0 Jets lead with 13:58 to play in the first half.
Austin McNamara’s punt was the fourth in the game as neither offense has found much momentum on a rainy day at MetLife Stadium.
