I believe he was trying to avoid a blind side penalty. It’s not allowed to hit a tackler from the side because of how many kickers, QBs and punters were laid out.
At least that was the only one so far. And he stepped into it, which usually means the throw will work out.
Nah. 2 minutes remaining. Three timeouts in hand. I wouldn't be shocked if a run is the first play, just to get the clock moving. They get five or more, and you can see the Jets pressing the play downfield. Otherwise, they may try to kill the clock, with them getting possession to start the 2nd Half.
