“I thought he was getting fired up pretty good, and I clicked over [to the defensive coaches] and I was like, ‘Hey, we need to be careful here,'” Jets coach Adam Gase said when talking about benching Adams in the fourth quarter. “I was worried that something bad was going to happen, we need him for the next week. They were smart and they pulled him off. I said, ‘Just calm him down,’ and then we were off the field.”
The Browns won the game. The final score was 23-3.
