“#Ty Johnson turned brash suggestion into breakout Jets game<\/a><\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n

The Jets were trailing Las Vegas by 11 points in the third quarter last Sunday, when running back Ty Johnson turned to offensive coordinator Dowell Loggains on the sidelines.<\/p>\n

\u201c \u2018Hey, do you think you can call some runs for me?\u2019 \u201d Loggains recalled the conversation earlier this week. \u201cJust how loose he was, how charismatic he was, you could feel his personality.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd it was awesome to see as a coach, to see this young kid who\u2019s a great competitor to full-on maximize his opportunity.\u201d<\/p>\n

Indeed, with future Hall of Famer Frank Gore sidelined with a concussion, Johnson rushed for 104 yards on 22 carries to become the first Jets running back to surpass the century mark on the ground since Isaiah Crowell ran for a team-record 219 yards on Oct. 7, 2018.<\/p>\n

Gore could be cleared from concussion protocol to return Sunday against Seattle, but Johnson \u2014 and Josh Adams, who contributed 74 rushing yards against the Raiders \u2014 suddenly have presented the Jets with viable options at the position following the October release of Le\u2019Veon Bell and an ankle injury suffered by rookie La\u2019Mical Perine.<\/p>\n

The last-second loss to the Raiders overshadowed the winless Jets\u2019 first 200-yard rushing game as a team since the aforementioned Crowell performance.<\/p>\n

Johnson, a sixth-round pick in 2019 claimed off waivers in October from Detroit, added a 1-yard touchdown plunge Sunday to give the Jets a 28-24 lead with 5:34 remaining. It marked the first NFL touchdown for the 23-year-old Johnson, who had totaled only eight carries in four previous app<\/a>earances with the Jets.<\/p>\n

\u201cI didn\u2019t believe I actually scored,\u201d Johnson said. \u201cTo hit pay dirt, it was just really wild. I was like, \u2018Damn, I just scored!\u2019<\/p>\n
