The Jets scraped past the Browns 27-20, leaning on special teams and defense while Justin Fields labored. Fields’ lone spark, a dump-off Breece Hall turned into a 42-yard fourth-quarter touchdown, broke a 17-17 tie, and late Browns penalties — Devin Bush’s hold and Cameron Thomas jumping offside — preserved the lead. Hall had 96 second-half yards as the Jets mustered just 169 total. Kene Nwangwu’s 99-yard kickoff return and Isaiah Williams’ 74-yard punt return fueled an edge. Dillon Gabriel threw two scores but was erratic and sacked six times, four by Will McDonald, as Cleveland’s road skid hit 13.
