The New York Jets secured a decisive 35-17 victory over the Cleveland Browns in Week 5 of the 2026 season, solidifying their position in the playoff race. With this win, the Jets have shown their determination to remain competitive in a tightly contested division. Taylen Green led the Browns' offense with 203 passing yards and two touchdown passes, demonstrating his ability to move the ball effectively. However, it was the Jets' Breece Hall who made an impact on the ground with 79 rushing yards, while Garrett Wilson showcased his receiving skills with 85 yards, both contributing to the Jets' offensive success. Defensively, the Jets were a force to be reckoned with, highlighted by Demario Davis's two interceptions that shifted momentum in their favor. D'Angelo Ponds also made his presence felt with seven tackles, and David Bailey's sack added pressure on Green throughout the game. The Jets' defense played a crucial role in the outcome, particularly during a pivotal stretch in the second quarter, where they stifled the Browns' drive and allowed the Jets to extend their lead.
