Series notes: The Jets are looking for their first 4-2 start since 2015, when they went 10-6 under Todd Bowles . ... At 3-2, they are over .500 for the first time since winning the season opener against Detroit in 2018 . ... New York scored 21 unanswered points in the fourth quarter last week in its win over Miami. The Jets have been strong in the final period this season, outscoring opponents 58-20. The 58 points lead the NFL and the 38-point margin in the fourth quarter is second only to Arizona’s 40 .. ... QB Zach Wilson’s 5-yard TD run last week made him the first player this season to score at least one TD via pass, run and catch. He’s the only Jets QB to accomplish the feat and first Jets player to do so in the same season since RB Curtis Martin in 2000 . ... The Jets were credited with 16 quarterbac­k hits last Sunday, with Carl Lawson getting seven, the most in a game by a Jets player since 1970 . ... The Packers are 18-1 in Rodgers’ past 19 starts against AFC teams at Lambeau Field . ... Rodgers has thrown at least two TD passes in each of his past four games . ... Packers OLB Rashan Gary has five sacks this season. Fantasy tip: Hall’s recent emergence suggests he may be worth starting this week against a Green Bay defense that has struggled against the run.
