It was surprisingly difficult to find single game records for the team, but apparently it's 228 yards (Maynard in 1968) and 4 TDs (Walker in 1986).

The 1986 game was amazing, we beat Miami 51-45 in OT, O'Brien vs Marino. Walker caught a TD over the middle as the clock struck 0:00 to tie the game. Jets received the OT kickoff, almost fumbled it, first or second play was a TD bomb to Walker for the win.
So it turns out, Italian Seafood was right an everyone can go freak themselves.

How do you remember excrement like this

I know you well enough to know you recited this from memory, I have to go to the box score to reference what happened last week
My dad always says he's undefeated at tailgating

Maybe it's not I who doesn't know what he's talking about

The 51-45 game is one of those games where I assume older fans remember a lot of the details. Outside the Monday Night Miracle, that might be the most famous regular season game in Jets history. I'm sure I'm missing a couple.

I remember watching it in my dorm, sophomore year at college, one of my good friends was a Miami fan. The rivalry was pretty hot at that time, both teams were coming off a playoff year and it was Week 3. I was also on my college football team and much of my life was invested in football at the time.

The last play there was 0:05 left, we had the ball at about the 35. You'd think they would throw a jump ball, but somehow Walker cut across the middle and made the catch at the goal line to get in. My biggest fear was Leahy would miss the extra point.

You can see the game here:

I have an easier time remember this excrement than I do last week or last year. Probably because I'm getting old, and maybe because I've had all these years to process it, plus it's an all time game people still talk about.

I've also entered the phase of remembering games from 10+ years ago better than games from the last few years.

Those jump out because they were wins vs a rival team. Off the top of my head I think of the Oakland game with Hall's FG to make the playoffs in 2001, the Green Bay game to win the division in 2002 and the Cincinnati win or in game in 2009, more because of the significance than the game. There was also the mini-miracle vs New England in 2000, another Vinny comeback at home in Week 2 on MNF.

I can rattle off the NCAA hoop champions of the 80s in short order, couldn't tell you who won it in 2019.

Tall, slow UDFA from last year who some Jets fans wanted to make a thing last year.

1.5 years later - revisiting the WR-turned-TE convert

Granted the below video is scrubs vs. scrubs and there's still another preseason game to go but with the number game (Uzomah, Conklin, Ruckert, Wesco-TE/FB, Yeboah, Cager) any thoughts on how this will shake out?

Can't see Cager breaking through unless he finds a role on ST.
