Football is a team game and that showed more than ever in the biggest moment of the game for the New York Jets Saturday. Nearly the entire offense pushed running back Elijah McGuire into the end zone for the go-ahead touchdown.
Late in the fourth quarter, as the Jets trailed by four, the Jets handed the ball off to McGuire to try and power it into the end zone. After the Houston Texans initially held him up, half of New York’s offense pushed him into the end zone.

Offensive linemen love it when their team runs the football and a moment like this is probably their favorite thing ever. The Jets came into this game as underdogs, a team everyone expected to get pushed around, instead, they are pushing their way to an upset win on primetime television.
