The New York Jets have been one of the most impressive teams this season relative to expectations. Many felt like this team had the makings of a young rebuilding team: the talent is available, but they'll struggle to win games. However, five weeks in, and New York is in the mix for the AFC East title.

The Jets' latest achievement is a thrilling 40 – 17 win against the Miami Dolphins in Week 5. The star of the show was Breece Hall, the team's rookie running back who set multiple records during the game. The rookie's impressive outing garnered an awesome reaction from head coach Robert Saleh. (via John Pullano)

“He was awesome. He’s an explosive player .When he drafted him, we said we drafted him because we needed a home run hitter on this team and he did that. He hit a couple of home runs today.”
