The 177 rushing yards were the most-ever by a former Cyclone in the NFL. Hall recorded a career-long 72-yard rushing touchdown in the third quarter, beating his previous career best of 62 yards. After the game, Hall entered the top-10 in rushing yards in the NFL after five weeks. Allen Lazard added three catches for 33 yards to the Jets offense.
