Jets strike twice on massive special-teams plays against Browns

Not much has gone right for the New York Jets this season. First year head coach Aaron Glenn led his team into Sunday with a 1-7 record and looking for a spark somewhere.

Glenn found that during the Jets' game against the Cleveland Browns in the form of his special teams unit. New York returned both a kickoff and a punt for touchdowns, all within a span of five plays.

New York Jets score on two special-teams plays

With 6:21 remaining in the first quarter, Jets RB Kene Nwangwu, a 2021 Minnesota Vikings fourth-round pick from Iowa State, returned the kickoff 99 yards, with the extra point tying the game at 7-7. Sunday was just the fourth time this season that Nwangwu has been active for a game.

After a three-and-out forced by the Jets defense, it was time for WR Isaiah Williams to get in on the return-game fun. He took the punt back 74 yards for the second special teams touchdown in as many possessions for New York, giving the Jets a two-touchdown lead.

Williams, a second-year player out of Illinois, was averaging 10.2 yards per return on 11 attempts before Sunday's long touchdown return.
