GRA: Strong-armed Joe Namath took over from untalented free agent Justin Fields, leading the new york jets to a thrilling 28-27 win over the miami dolphins.
"(fantasy football):
"the Jets managed only 3 points in the first half and trailed 10-3, when Aaron Glenn, the rookie head coach, saw the #1 draft choice from Alabama, 60 years ago, on the sidelines, throwing 50-yard passes from his NFL approved wheelchair and told him to go in.
"under new rules this year, former quarterbacks, age 70 and older, are allowed to play again--in wheelchairs--pushed by an extra player.
barking up in vain.
"Namath's first pass was a 22-yard laser to Garrett Wilson, followed by a beautiful screen pass that Breece Hall grabbed for 33 yards, setting up the jets first touchdown--a quarterback sneak by Namath from the one-yard line.
"miami retook a two touchdown lead, but the jets defense clamped down, allowing the 80-year-old Joe Willie, to lead the Jets to two fourth quarter scores--and a two point conversion as the game clock ran out--to seal the win.
"I want to thank my 'driver,' Josh Reynolds, for putting me in position to make the plays and eluding the pass rush and the offensive line and entire offensive unit. It's geat to be back!"
When Reynolds was asked what it felt like to be Namath's legs, he responded, "I hear I'm like Mark was to Ironside on that old tv show--that's what Joe Namath told me."
The Jets improved to 1-3 with the win.
In real life, the Jets (and Justin Fields) were just bad enough to lose by 6.
