The Jets have their first lead of Sunday’s game.
Geno Smith hit wide receiver Garrett Wilson for a five-yard score with 2:30 left to play in the third quarter of the game. Smith got an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty after the play, but Jason Sanders still made the extra point for a 14-7 lead.
Smith hit running back Braelon Allen for an eight-yard gain on the previous play and Lukas Van Ness was flagged for roughing the passer to move the Jets even closer to the end zone. Smith is 20-of-31 for 150 yards and is still without a turnover on the season.
Jordan Love has also avoided a turnover, but the Packers have just 94 yards of offense to go with 99 yards of penalties. They’ve also lost wide receiver Jayden Reed, right tackle Zach Bako-Bewele, and left guard Aaron Banks to injuries. The Jets are without defensive tackle David Onyemata.
