Jets End Preseason in Tie with Eagles

JETS 31 - EAGLES 31 

An evening that started off in a torrential downpour, ended deadlocked in a tie as the Jets wrapped up their preseason schedule with a 31-31 tie with the Philadelphia Eagles. 

Zach Wilson and most of the starters did not play in this game; neither did Jalen Hurts and company for Philadelphia. Good idea, considering it was the final preseason tilt before the regular season begins in a little over two weeks. 

Instead what fans got was a battle of backups. Philadelphia built a 24-10 lead behind ex-Jet Joe Flacco's two touchdown passes, but New York crept back into the game on a touchdown run by Ty Johnson in the third quarter that cut it it 24-17, and a James Morgan touchdown pass to Kenny Yeboah that made it a one-point game at 24-23. 

It looked as though the Jets were well on their way to a loss when tight end Daniel Brown fumbled a pass by Morgan into the hands of Michael Jaquet, who ran it back into the endzone for a touchdown with 1:15 to play. 

However Morgan, a Green Bay native, decided to pull one out of the Aaron Rodgers playbook tossing a Hail Mary into the waiting arms of Yeboah for the score. Josh Adams plunged into the endzone for the two-point conversion with triple zeroes on the clock.
