Jets Stun Bengals in Thrilling Comeback Victory

On October 26th, 2025, the New York Jets pulled off a stunning comeback victory against the Cincinnati Bengals, winning 39-38 on the road. The Jets, who entered the game as the NFL's lone winless team at 0-7, trailed by as much as 31-16 late in the third quarter before mounting a thrilling rally.

Running back Breece Hall was the hero for the Jets, rushing for two touchdowns and then throwing the game-winning 4-yard score to Mason Taylor with less than two minutes remaining. Quarterback Justin Fields also had a standout performance, passing for 244 yards and leading the Jets' offense to 502 total yards on the day.

The Bengals had built a comfortable lead behind Joe Flacco's 223 passing yards and two touchdowns, but the Jets refused to quit. When Hall's 27-yard touchdown run brought them within 38-32, the Jets went for a successful two-point conversion to tie the game. Their defense then held firm, setting up the winning drive capped by Hall's touchdown pass.

This victory marks the first of the season for the Jets under first-year coach Aaron Glenn, and a much-needed boost after their offense had struggled in recent weeks. The Bengals, meanwhile, will be left to lament a devastating loss that puts their playoff hopes in jeopardy.
