CLEVELAND, OH – OCTOBER 08: Darron Lee /

Linebackers. B. . .

While the defensive line struggled, the linebackers were able to make plays against the Browns. Demario Davis had a strong game against his former team with six tackles and the Jets lone sack of the day. Darron Lee had one of his better games for New York with five tackles and showcased his ability to get sideline to sideline.

One of the bigger plays of the game was when Ben Bishop was able to take advantage of a botched handoff by DeShone Kizer and recover the fumble. This was a huge turnover as it stopped a drive where the Browns were in the red zone and were in range to at least get three points out of the drive.

In a close game like this, and to compete with teams this season, the Jets need to force turnovers and take advantage of whatever breaks they can.
