Kendrick Green replaced Kenyon Green, who left with a shoulder injury, at left guard at the start of the drive. Quarterback C.J. Stroud completed 3 of 4 passes for 51 yards, the longest being a 32-yard connection to Robert Woods down the sideline.

Stroud also scrambled twice for 16 yards. He connected with Tank Dell for a 14-yard gain to convert a 3rd-and-12 to keep the drive alive.

Mixon is 15 yards shy of his fifth 100-yard game of the season. He has crossed the century mark in every game he has played completely. Mixon had just one 100-yard game in 17 games with the Bengals last season.

The Jets will start the third quarter on offense.
