The New York Jets came away with the victory in a wacky contest on Sunday defeating the Kansas City Chiefs by a final score of 38-31. Who’s responsible for the team’s upset win this week?

The writing seemed to be on the wall.

After a terrible start to the game in which the Kansas City Chiefs scored 14 points on six plays in under five minutes, the New York Jets rallied back and led 21-17 at home. It was a great showing of resiliency from a young team that’s shown plenty this season. They played hard in the third quarter and led 27-24 at the start of the dreaded fourth quarter.

This was when the wheels were supposed to fall off. This was when the bottom was supposed to fall out. The Jets were in prime position for another abhorrent fourth-quarter collapse where the team would blow yet another game despite being the better team for 45 minutes. It had happened three out of their last five losses. After an Alex Smith bomb to Tyreek Hill with nine minutes remaining it seemed that we were all once again doomed to witness another Jets fourth-quarter meltdown.

But then something incredible happened. The Jets pushed their figurative foot on the gas pedal and remained strong. Josh McCown led his team to a 14-play, 75-yard touchdown drive capped off by his second rushing touchdown of the day to put the final dagger in what was an embarrassing showing by the Chiefs in the final few minutes of Sunday’s game. As it stands, this week’s game did feature yet another fourth-quarter breakdown.

Only this time it was the Jets who were the beneficiaries.

With that being said, let’s take a look at the five players who deserve the most credit for Sunday’s Jets victory.
