The Jets changed things up in a big way on Sunday, sending offensive coordinator Mike LaFleur upstairs to the coach's booth and electing to take the ball after winning the coin toss. After the game HC Robert Saleh said that LaFleur will stay upstairs until further notice. They then promptly marched 75 yards on a 10-play march that culminated on RB Carter's 8-yard TD run. White completed all seven of his passes on the drive and started the game a perfect 11 of 11. White became the first Jets QB to hit 10 in a row from start of a game since Chad Pennington hit his first 14 at Miami in 2003.
But White fired too hot on his 12th and 14th attempts and deflected passes were intercepted by the Bengals as turnovers were the only thing that slowed the Jets early. They totaled 261 yards in the first half and ended on a high note, answering a 17-point Bengals run with an impressive two-minute drive that ended on White's 8-yard scoring pass to Braxton Berrios with 15 seconds remaining. That TD followed what looked to be an amazing one-handed scoring grab from Keelan Cole that was taken off the board after a replay review.
Saleh also said that White would be the starter when the Jets face the Indianapolis Colts on Thursday night.
