Green Bay converted one of ten third downs and ran 47 total plays. The Jets ran 68. Leonard Taylor’s strip-sack of Willis in the second quarter — recovered by Tufele in the end zone — was the sequence that put the game out of reach before halftime. New York’s defense recorded four sacks across the night without allowing a passing touchdown. Matt LaFleur called it a humbling experience after the final whistle. The 215-yard gap in total offense backed him up.
