The Jets' offensive line led the way as a triumvirate (Tevin Coleman, Ty Johnson and Austin Walter) of running backs (with a few added yards from Wilson and backup QB Josh Johnson) gained 157 yards on the ground -- the most in a game since gaining 206 yards against the Raiders in Game 12 of the 2020 season and the most on the road since amassing 169 yards at Detroit in the 2018 season opener on "Monday Night Football."
"That was just us as on the O-line being on our targets," rookie LG Alijah Vera-Tucker said. "We knew their linebackers like to shoot through gaps. We were able to run downhill and to take advantage of that."
Vera-Tucker, a first-round pick out of USC, has so far this season played every offensive snap through 11 games. With Mekhi Becton out injured, Vera-Tucker has forged a strong tandem with George Fant on the left side. And for the second straight game Laurent Duvernay-Tardif took over at RG and played next to Morgan Moses.
"I've been playing with George basically all season," AVT said. "We know how each other works. On the left side we tried to do the job, same on the right side, too. Overall, the O-line worked really well together. We're excited about that."
AVT, speaking about LDT, added: "That guy, I talk to him a lot out of the room and outside the facility. He's a great dude, always on his stuff. He's been in the league for a while, a real vet, playing for a Super Bowl team [Kansas City]. I pick his brain, ask him little questions. I'm impressed that he's picked up on the playbook pretty well so quickly."
