Who&#8217;s to say the Jets won&#8217;t have a better drive later this year, but for now, their 19-play, 74-yard, 11:48 march to their second-quarter field goal at Tennessee will do just fine,<\/p>\n<p>The 19th play of the drive was <a class=\"nfl-o-cta--link nfl-o-cta--underline\" style=\"word-break:break-word\" href=\"https:\/\/www.newyorkjets.com\/team\/players-roster\/jason-sanders\/\" title=\"Jason Sanders\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Jason Sanders<\/a>&#8216; first FG as a Jets kicker. Reliable records going back to the Jets&#8217; first season of 1963 show that the team has had only one 21-play drive, ending in a FG by Jay Feely early in the Jets&#8217; &#8220;Win And We&#8217;re In&#8221; 37-0 blanking of the Bengals in their 2009 regular-season finale to get into the playoffs. The Green &amp; White also had a pair of 19-play TD drives, vs. the Packers in 1981 and the Bengals in &#8217;93. All three were home victories.<\/p>\n<p>Drive times are less reliable and in many cases not even available as we go back into the AFL of the 1960s. The best way to describe the 11:48 time of the march (none of the 18 scrimmage plays gained more than 9 yards) is that it is the longest Jets drive in any game since the 1970 merger season. It eclipsed the 11:23 FG drive for the Jets at New England in 1999.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"&#8220;The Drive&#8221;: A Few More DetailsMany teams have one series of plays that are remembered fondly as &#8220;the&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":347405,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[85,9,11,10,12,12130,34830],"class_list":["post-347404","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-new-york","tag-latest-headlines","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-headlines","tag-new-york-news","tag-news","tag-randy-lange","tag-stats-to-know"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/347404","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=347404"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/347404\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/347405"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=347404"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=347404"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=347404"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
