This was puzzling: Because of the Demaryius Thomas injury (how's that trade working out?), the Jets dressed only four WRs. Only three saw action; Josh Bellamy had zero snaps. Jamison Crowder played out of position (30 snaps outside, only 12 in the slot) to accommodate Braxton Berrios, a pure slot receiver. Adam Gase said, "Once we get Jamison back at his normal position, that will help. He's trying to do us a solid by playing outside." Why not use Bellamy so Crowder can stay in the slot? Why not call up an outside receiver from the practice squad? This was questionable roster management and deployment of personnel.

Jets offensive snaps (based on 47): QB — Falk 47; RB — Bell 47, Montgomery 7, Powell 1; WR — Anderson 47, Crowder 42, Berrios 28; TE — Griffin 44, Wesco 11, Brown 6; OL — Beachum 47, Osemele 47, Kalil 47, Winters 47, Shell 47. ANALYSIS: With Demaryius Thomas out, Crowder played outside instead of the slot to accommodate Berrios. Not sure why they didn't use Josh Bellamy. Powell received a crumb in his season debut. Bell never came off the field. (Courtesy: NFL Next Gen Stats)

Saquon Barkley told me he had a high ankle sprain before, his freshman year at Penn State. He missed two games with that injury.

There was a point in the second quarter Daniel Jones went into the huddle and said, "Let's fu***** score!" Guys were taken aback. Had never seen that side of him, seen him curse. Moments later he pulled a zone read and ran in a touchdown. Had the sideline buzzing.

Giants owner Steve Tisch told me before the game it was the start of a "new chapter." He raved afterwards about the poise and composure of the 22-year-old quarterback. Chapter 1 an overwhelmingly optimistic story.
