Late in Sunday’s Jets-Jags on Fox, play-caller Chris Myers gave it a shot. Nothing loud or forceful, but he gave it a shot.
There was 5:41 left in the game, the 3-10 Jets down, 22-17, when NY DE Solomon Thomas chased down QB Mac Jones, making a nice diving tackle. It was a standout play that spoke for itself, live and in a replay.
Twenty years ago.
As Solomon rose to his feet, he began to do an all-about-me dance, part shimmy, part swimmy. Regardless, he looked like a fool, obligatorily diminishing his own achievement with NFL-requisite post-play immodesty.
