The New York Jets beat the Atlanta Falcons 27-24 on November 30, 2025, at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, on a 56-yard Nick Folk field goal as time expired. Atlanta outgained New York 389 to 269 total yards and held possession for nearly 33 minutes, but nine Jets penalties for 59 yards and a fumbled fair catch by Jamal Agnew — only the Jets’ second takeaway of the entire 2025 season — tilted the game.

Garrett Wilson remained on injured reserve with a knee injury. Adonai Mitchell — acquired from Indianapolis at the trade deadline (Sauce Gardner went to the Colts in that deal) — set a career high with eight receptions for 102 yards and caught his first NFL touchdown, a 52-yard grab after cornerback Mike Hughes fell in coverage.

Folk entered the game having made 20 consecutive field goals in 2025. He missed a 55-yarder in the third quarter, then hit the walk-off 56-yarder despite the cold and wet conditions at MetLife — he had identified the 38-yard line as his limit during pregame warmups. Zane Gonzalez, the NFC Special Teams Player of the Week the prior week, missed wide right from 50 yards before making a 52-yarder at the end of the third quarter.

Atlanta finished with 120 more yards, held the ball five minutes longer, and converted every red zone trip. The Jets won anyway — on a 15-play fourth-quarter drive that converted on 4th-and-1, a defensive three-and-out that got the ball back at their own 43 with 35 seconds left, and a 56-yard field goal in the mist by a 41-year-old kicker in his second stint with the franchise.
