Jets Practice Report: How Much Will Starters Play vs. Saints? - newyorkjets.com

Expecting the Unexpected
The Jets had a short practice Thursday that wrapped up with a situational period. The offense was set up with fourth-and-goal from the 6-yard line and needed a touchdown as they were down 31-27 with four seconds remaining. For a split second, it appeared the offense emerged victorious as Sam Darnold hit a streaking Quincy Enunwa across the back of the end zone. But DL Henry Anderson was held.

“I just worked a little 1-on-1 pass rush, a little up-and-under and got through,” Anderson said. “I think I would’ve gotten the sack if it was a live drill and we could touch Sam, but obviously I don’t want to get close to him, so they called a holding.”

Both sides lined up again, this time from the 16-yard line, and CB Darryl Roberts came down with the interception on a desperation heave, which resulted in pushups for the offense.

“Sometimes, certain situations you never see and then you get into a game and not everybody is on the same page,” Anderson said. “That’s when you see things happen like giving up a Hail Mary and losing a tight ballgame. Coach Gase been really good putting us in weird situations and last-play situations.”
