The TOJ Tweet Summary carries on with the New York Jets week 5 matchup with the Cleveland Browns. Jets fans were on high alert with this being set up as a trap game after the Jets were widely praised all week. It turned out to be a pretty ugly but close game. Let’s see how #JetsTwitter experience this one.
Jets fans knew were hoping the Jets don’t underestimate their opponent.
Bit worried about today's game, could be a trap game against a winless Browns team with the Pats looming, hope #Jets don't overlook them

Jets have a chance to go over .500 and we’re facing the Browns! I’d say our chances our good BUT we’re also the Jets. #Jets

1st Half
The game started off ugly with both teams looking horrible on offense. Then the Browns got a good drive going that had them at the Jets’ 3-yard-line. And then just as it looked like Cleveland would get their first lead of the regular season…
#Jets recover fumble at their 7 with 1:16 left 1Q. #Browns RB Isaiah Crowell couldn't corral pitch from DeShone Kizer on option, ball loose.
— Nate Ulrich (@NateUlrichABJ) October 8, 2017
Freddie Bishop, just promoted from the PS, recovers fumble for #Jets, ending what was a promising drive for #Browns.
— Dennis Waszak Jr. (@DWAZ73) October 8, 2017
Freddie Bishop gets the fumble recovery let's gooo!!! #Jets
— Miguel 🇵🇷 (@_MiguelG06) October 8, 2017
The Jets couldn’t capitalize on the turnover, however, and punted the ball back to the Browns. Cleveland then drove to the Jets’ 34 and after a third down stop, they attempted a field goal to give them their first lead of the regular season…
52yd field goal by the #Browns is no good. We remain scoreless. #Jets
— Daniel Feuerstein (@DFeuerstein) October 8, 2017
Still scoreless in Cleveland and Zane Gonzalez missed a 52-yard field goal. #Jets #Browns
— Andy Vasquez (@andy_vasquez) October 8, 2017
Jets got the ball back and then confirmed one man’s premonition…
McCown is literally staring down one receiver each play. He’s going to throw an INT soon. #Jets
— Mike Nash (@MikeNash15) October 8, 2017

Then on the Cleveland possession that followed, the Browns drove all the way down to the Jets’ 4-yard-line, again looking for their first lead of the regular season. And then…

MAYE DAY MAYE DAY MAYE DAY!!! #jetsnation #Jets

Thank you again Kizer! Way to go Marcus Maye! Two red zone turnovers yay! #Jets
— Connie Carberg (@ConnieScouts) October 8, 2017
Nice play by Maye. Some truly awful football being played here though. #Jets
— Paul McGrath (@WesterosBatman) October 8, 2017
Too bad Maye couldn't bring that back. Now we gotta watch our offense again. #Jets
— Shane Lake (@slake512) October 8, 2017
Jets offense followed that up with nothing…3 and out…and then the Browns, after taking over on offense, had a chance to take their first lead of the season on a 39-yard field goal shortly before the half…
Oh, my, the Browns missed a 39-yard FGA. They should be leading by three or four scores, and it's scoreless. #Jets
— Rich Cimini (@RichCimini) October 8, 2017
Like I said…… "IF" either team can get a field goal. #Jets #Browns #NFL https://t.co/IU0aHwkrby
— Danny H. (@JetsFanUK) October 8, 2017
The 39-yard field goal is NO GOOD. Hooked wide left AGAIN. #Jets and #Browns STILL tied at 0. We’re going to have a scoreless first half.
— Matt Barbato (@RealMattBarbato) October 8, 2017
We all were thinking like Matt. But then the Jets suddenly turned into time management experts and somehow got to the edge of field goal range with 1 second left in the first half and Catanzaro nailed a 57-yard field goal.

Maybe the best end of half management we’ve seen from Bowles during his tender. #Jets
— Ryan Marcone (@ryanmarcone) October 8, 2017
Chandler Catanzaro's 57-yard FG the longest in #Jets history. Previous long was 56, Nick Folk, 2010.

2nd Half
The Browns came out strong in the second half after a QB change and finally got their first lead of the season on their first drive of the second half on a Kevin Hogan TD pass to rookie TE David Njoku making it 7-3.

Damn it. Browns up now. Great catch by Njoku. #Jets
— Mike Gutierrez (@yankeejetsfan71) October 8, 2017
The Jets offense continued to struggle as they again punted on the following drive. However, when they needed a spark, the defense showed up.
Mo Claiborne, who's having a very good game, with a big INT sets us up in the redzone! #NYJvsCLE #Jets
— Justin LaSalata (@justinlasalata) October 8, 2017
@demario__davis with another stellar game. Big reason for that Claiborne INT. #Jets

Jets then cashed in with a 2 yard TD pass from McCown to Austin Seferian-Jenkins to give the Jets a 10-7 lead.
ASJ TD. #Jets back in front. Great work off the line on fade route.
— Joe Caporoso (@JCaporoso) October 8, 2017
ASJ!! TD #JETS
— NYJ,NYY,NYK,NYR (@tbrandsports101) October 8, 2017
TD to ASJ. He plays tight end. A tight end caught a touchdown pass for the #Jets. #NYJ
— Shawn Farash (@Shawn_Farash) October 8, 2017
3 turnovers for the white and green defense. Big pick off leading to a big TD to ASJ! #GangGreen #Jets
— Vincent Koppel (@Vince44Koppel) October 8, 2017
Browns then mounted another long drive on the Jets’ defense. They had 4th and 2 at the Jets’ 4 yard line and Hue Jackson decided to go for it…
STUFFED.#Jets stop the Browns on 4th and 2 at the 4.
Gang Green ball at their own 3 up 10-7.
— Ryan Field (@RyanFieldABC) October 8, 2017
Stuffed like a turkey, #Jets stop the Browns on 4th down
— Big Jake (@jetsfan2779) October 8, 2017
That decision by Hue Jackson though. 😐 #Jets
— Rich Rozefort (@subzero2401) October 8, 2017
Hue Jackson out here trying to get fired… #JetsVsBrowns #jets
— Erik Coleman (@erikcoleman) October 8, 2017
Jets offense then got into a rhythm, orchestrating a long 97-yard drive for TD to go up 17-7 and essentially put the game away.
Tomlinson GRABS IT! What a gain, let’s make that lead a little more! #Jets driving for their 3rd win.
— Nick Mamatos (@NickM538) October 8, 2017
GREAT CATCH BY JEREMY KERLEY! 1ST DOWN! #Jets
— Daniel Feuerstein (@DFeuerstein) October 8, 2017
Yes sir big play boom td Kearse! #jets
— Chris Hall (@studyhall44) October 8, 2017
#Jets offense finally looking like they got it together on that TD to Kearse.
— Shane Connelly (@ShaneTConnelly) October 8, 2017
Wow what a drive! That 3rd Down pass to TE Tomlinson was great by McCown! Then Kerley,Kearse! Nice pass protection! #Jets
— Connie Carberg (@ConnieScouts) October 8, 2017
The Drive. McCown takes 'em 97 yards, eight yards, including a big grab by the one-armed TE, Eric Tomlinson. #Jets
— Rich Cimini (@RichCimini) October 8, 2017
Browns would get a TD on a Duke Johnson catch and run but it was too little too late as the Jets hung on to win 17-14.
Post Game
The Jets won their 3rd game in a row and even though it wasn’t pretty they found a way to win on the road. Jets fans were still conflicted about the “tank.”
Y'all were saying something about a "Tank"? 🤔 #Jets
— Stephen✈️✈️✈️ (@StephenBieber_) October 8, 2017
The #Jets can't even tank right.
— Jay Porks 67680 (@JayPorks) October 8, 2017
My #Jets are 3-2, and all these so called NFL analyst said we would tank the season. Who's laughing now, #GoJETS
— Adrian (@AdrianPerez329) October 8, 2017
The #Jets Tank is dead and I’m sad about that but good for the players & Todd Bowles who were told all offseason they’d be worst team ever
