“#Marcus Maye, Jets defense put on a show<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n

The Jets defense was hopeless in Seattle last week.<\/p>\n

But the unit came back with a big statement Sunday against the Rams.<\/p>\n

Safety Marcus Maye put the finishing touches on the stout defensive effort, breaking up a pass on fourth down late in the fourth quarter to hand the ball back to the offense and wrap up a 23-20 win over the Rams at SoFi Stadium.<\/p>\n

\u201cI can\u2019t say enough about Marcus Maye, what he did in this game<\/a>,\u201d coach Adam Gase said. \u201cHe almost tried to end it himself with an interception, but then he made a hell of a play at the end of the game. I\u2019m just glad he was out there.\u201d<\/p>\n

Maye had gotten his hands on a Jared Goff pass earlier in the fourth quarter and nearly made the acrobatic interception \u2014 which would have been his second in as many weeks after corralling one in a 40-3 loss to the Seahawks last Sunday. Instead the ball tipped off his hand and into the hands of tight end Gerald Everett for a 13-yard gain.<\/p>\n

On the next drive, after the Rams closed within 23-20, they faced a fourth-and-4 from the Jets\u2019 37-yard line. Goff went deep to Everett, but Maye was there to get his hands on it and turn the ball over on downs with 3:54 to go.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe stuck together as a defense when they started coming back, swinging back, and we just stuck it out,\u201d Maye said. \u201cWe pulled together as a team, as a group, all three phases. I just made a play on fourth down, but it was definitely a group effort, a team effort.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Jets\u2019 first game under interim defensive coordinator Frank Bush, after Gregg Williams was fired the day after a heartbreaking loss to the Raiders, had not gone as swimmingly. They gave up 410 yards, including 174 on the ground, and 40 points to the Seahawks last Sunday in Seattle.<\/p>\n

But Bush\u2019s unit came back Sunday to give up 303 yards, its second-lowest total of the season. The defense was flying around from the start, forcing a pair of three-and-outs to begin the game and nearly kept the Rams scoreless in the first half.<\/p>\n

The Jets held the Rams to 2-for-11 on third downs and kept their dangerous wide receivers relatively in check, limiting Robert Woods and Cooper Kupp to a combined 11 catches for 95 yards.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe keep it simple, put our feet in the dirt and go and play,\u201d Maye said. \u201cThat\u2019s what we did. We communicated. They played well up front. It was a group effort. The guys come out each week and show up during the week and come out on Sundays to try to get a win. The fact that we got it this week, I\u2019m definitely happ<\/a>y for the guys.\u201d\n <\/p><\/div>\n
