Last night saw New York Jets pull off arguably the biggest upset of Week 8. The Jets defeated Cincinnati Bengals in a close 34-31 win. This win was very important for the Jets, who before this victory had the least number of points in their divisional rankings. Cincinnati Bengals were fresh off defeating a rampant Ravens side.

Mike White made a name for himself last night with a breakout performance against Super Bowl favorites Cincinnati Bengals. Coming in as a week 8 replacement for injured quarterback Zach Wilson, White had a night to remember. The quarterback passed for 405 yards and scored three touchdowns in the fourth quarter to help the Jets overcome a double-digit deficit and upset the Bengals.

He unsurprisingly replied that anything can happen. “We’ll go day-to-day, but anything is possible,” Saleh said.
