Saleh continued, “We didn’t need to turn into the Greatest Show on Turf. We just wanted him to play within himself and play efficient, and I thought he did that. … Especially in the elements, like I said, he made the easy look easy. I thought he did a really good job with that.” The Jets sit at 7-4 and are in a decent spot for a Wild Card thanks to the Patriots loss on Thursday to the Vikings.
