Football does not get more exciting than watching your team score a thrilling punt return touchdown, in overtime, and Jets head coach Robert Saleh was in full steam, as he watched his team defeat the Bills last night.
The viral clip, released on the NFL’s official X account, shows Saleh’s sprinting down the touchline before engulfing his team, even falling over the players, in a mass huddle.
The Jets head coach probably need to let off more steam than most as he watched his star quarterback Aaron Rodgers go down after four snaps with a troubling-looking injury.

With a trip to the irresistible Dallas Cowboys next up, Saleh was overjoyed when undrafted WD Xaxier Gipson scored a dramatic overtime 65-yard walk-off punt return touchdown.
Gipson brought the MetLife Stadium to raptures with a stunning touchdown to clinch an epic win over divisional rivals the Buffalo Bills.
The Jets lead the AFC East while the Cowboys are fresh off an historic 40-0 shutout of the New York Giants. This was the biggest opening day win in the history of the NFL and without Rodgers for the foreseeable future Saleh was desperate to get a win under the belt.
