Why you should back the Jets
Rookie running back Braelon Allen became the youngest player in over four decades to score a touchdown on Sunday, when he rushed for one touchdown and caught another in New York’s 24-17 win over Tennessee. In two games so far this season, Allen has carried eight times for 41 yards (5.1 average) with one touchdown and one explosive run of 20 yards. He has three receptions for 32 yards. In three seasons at Wisconsin, he carried 597 times for 3,494 yards (5.9 average) and 35 touchdowns. The Jets grabbed him in the fourth round of the 2024 NFL Draft.
Leading the rushing attack is veteran Breece Hall. He has carried 30 times for 116 yards (3.9 average) and one touchdown this season, converting three first downs. In three seasons with the Jets, he has played in 26 games, carrying 333 times for 1,573 yards (4.7 average) and 10 touchdowns.
