It’s officially “Geno Time” in the Big Apple these days. After a nail biting 30-28 victory over the Falcons this past monday night, Geno Smith and the New York Jets have gotten off to a 3 and 2 start surprising most of the sports world. Many people including ESPN claimed that the Jets were actually the bottom feeders of the NFL, ranking them number 32 out of 32 teams before the season began.
The success of the Jets so far this season can be attributed to the stellar play of the teams defensive unit, and also from the rookie quarterback Geno Smith. Against the Falcons subpar defense lead by former Giant Osi Umenyiora, Smith had 16 completions out of 20 passing attempts for 199 yards and 3 touchdowns. He also lead the Jets downfield on the final drive of the game that set up Nick Folk for the game winning 43 yard field goal.
If Geno and the Jets continue to come out with performances like this one, the boy’s in green will soon definitely prove their many doubters wrong.
