Story summary

Quincy Williams, a former Jets linebacker now playing for the Cleveland Browns, lived up to his pre-game warning against his previous team in a 17-12 victory for the Jets. During this game at MetLife Stadium, Williams caused three fumbles and led all players with 11 tackles, making him a formidable force on the field as he had threatened before the season. Despite these efforts, Cleveland could not capitalize enough to overcome their scoring deficit. Notably, Williams also forced a fumble that was recovered by his own team, contributing indirectly to the Browns' struggle. The Jets saw only one injury during the game: rookie tight end Kenyon Sadiq, who sustained a concussion from a hit by Williams.
