Cade Klubnik plays two series, leads Jets to 10 points
The Jets made a late change at quarterback on Friday and rookie Cade Klubnik got the start against the Buccaneers as a result.
In a surprising turn of events, rookie quarterback Cade Klubnik took the starting position at quarterback for the Jets in a recent game against the Buccaneers. Klubnik made an impact immediately, connecting with tight end Mason Taylor on a short pass that gained 12 yards. The duo continued to work well together, with Klubnik finding wide receiver Garrett Wilson twice for a combined 32 yards.
Wilson showcased his athleticism with an impressive leaping catch for a 21-yard gain. The Jets settled for a field goal on that drive, and Klubnik handed the ball off to running back Braelon Allen, who delivered a powerful 31-yard touchdown run on the final play of the night. Klubnik finished the game 5-of-7 for 56 yards. Initially, Geno Smith was set to start, but he was replaced just before kickoff due to what head coach Aaron Glenn described as ankle soreness, noting that the team does not believe the issue is serious.
