The Jets (2-7) earned their second consecutive victory, defeating the Cleveland Browns (2-7), 27-20, at MetLife Stadium on Sunday. Here are three takeaways from the game.

Historic Day on Special Teams
Special teams took center stage in the first quarter, as RB Kene Nwangwu returned a kickoff 99 yards to even the score, 7-7. It was the fifth kickoff return TD of Nwangwu’s career, which is the most by any player in the league since he entered in 2021. It was also Nwangwu’s second TD return for the Green & White.

“Having that I feel like that just really changed the game, the momentum,” said WR Isaiah Williams. “Like, after he scored everybody on the sideline was just like pumped, and I was too. And then right after that, [special teams coordinator Chris] Banjo came up to me like, now it’s your turn.”

Williams then returned a punt 74 yards to the end zone, marking the first TD return of his life. Williams added to his remarkable redemption story, from overcoming two early season mistakes in Miami to winning AFC Special Teams Player of the Week honors in Week 8 and continuing to find ways to contribute.

“That’s the power of believing in your players,” HC Aaron Glenn said of the duo.

Sunday’s win marked the first time in franchise history that a punt and kickoff were returned for TDs in the same game, and it was also the first time any team in the league has accomplished that feat since 2017.

While the two TD returns captured all the attention, though, Glenn stressed that there were several other players and moments that contributed to the standout performance.

“Special teams did a hell of a job making plays,” Glenn said. “There were some underlying things that really didn’t show up on the stat sheet.”

P Austin McNamara continued his impressive performance this season with five punts for 249 yards (49.8 average), and three of his punts were downed inside the 20-yard line. K Nick Folk extended his perfect season, kicking two FGs in the victory. Folk has now converted all 19 of his FG attempts in 2025.

“I give a lot of credit to [special teams coordinator Chris] Banjo and [special teams assistant Kevin] O’Dea,” Glenn said.
