But the home team responded in the second period as the rookie scored two seven-yard TDs before the ball carrier caught a pass from Maye at the back of the end zone halfway into the third quarter to extend the lead to 21 to 7

"It was a key occasion for him rising to the challenge, and it's been fantastic for him to keep earning playing time," the quarterback said of the rookie. "He desires to be excellent."

Justin Fields threw to John Metchie late in the third period to narrow the deficit for the Jets but Borregales booted a pair of field goals in the final period as the home side sealed the win
