Well, at least the New York Jets will have given their fans one thrill in 2021, even if it was in front of a practically empty MetLife Stadium Friday.
Gang Green had the ball at the Philly 49, facing a fourth-and-4 with an eight-point deficit against the Eagles with six seconds left.
The quarterback — not Zach Wilson — was James Morgan, who rolled right and unloaded a prayer.
Morgan, a 2020 fourth-round pick out of Florida International, reached the end zone, where Kenny Yeboah came away with the ball despite being surrounded by what seemed like the entire Eagles defense.
Yeboah is an undrafted free agent, who spent 2020 at Ole Miss after spending 2016-19 at Temple.
HAIL MARY KENNY!!!!

A Josh Adams run for the 2-point conversion left the game tied at 31, and that is how it finished because there is no overtime in the preseason.
Thankfully.
