Summary
Ayden Garnes’ 47-yard pick-six and Jalon Daniels’ 10-of-15 passing for 111 yards powered Tampa Bay past New York 24-16 after the Buccaneers fell behind 10-0.
Daniels, an undrafted rookie quarterback, took over in the second half and led two touchdown drives, finishing one with a 1-yard keeper after Josh Williams’ 12-yard scoring run gave Tampa Bay its first lead.
Tampa Bay rested all starters and still won the turnover battle 2-0, with Rashad Wisdom adding an interception and rookie edge rusher Jack Pyburn recording two of the defense’s four sacks.
The Jets played starters for most of the first quarter and got two early scores from Braelon Allen and Cade York, while rookie QB Cade Klubnik also helped direct New York’s opening offense.
