The New York Jets played one of their grittiest games of the season on Sunday against the Atlanta Falcons. It was a back-and-forth affair from the beginning bu

The Jets are on a two-game losing streak, falling to the Baltimore Ravens, 23-10, last week and the New England Patriots, 27-14, in Week 10. The Jets' two wins this season are against the Cleveland Browns and Cincinnati Bengals, wins that came back-to-back in Week 8 and after their bye in Week 10.

The Atlanta Falcons would prefer that a Michael Penix Jr. would start all 17 games in 2026. Yet, after the 2024 first-round pick suffered a partially torn ACL in his left knee, the Falcons will have to make other quarterback plans for next season.

The Falcons also announced on Friday that they are promoting wide receiver Dylan Drummond to the 53-man active roster. Drummond was a star of the preseason with 14 catches for 96 yards in three games of catching balls from Easton Stick and Emory Jones.

Longtime Atlanta Falcons center Todd McClure acknowledged that he is unsure if Michael Penix Jr. is the right fit as the Falcons’ long-term quarterback.

McCloud was sent home from the practice facility in Week 8 and released by the team the following day without much explanation from head coach Raheem Morris. Fans never found out exactly what happened with McCloud, but many speculated it had something to do with Hilliard's firing.

The New York Jets edged the Atlanta Falcons 27-24 in a thrilling finish on Sunday when Nick Folk nailed a 56-yard field goal as time expired.

Years after Jets kicker Nick Folk was nicknamed that by Ryan when he was the Jets head coach and Folk was in his first stint with the team, Folk rammed a low, driving 56-yard game-winning field goal on the last play of the game to deliver the Jets a stirring 27-24 victory at MetLife Stadium.
