EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- The New York Jets scored their first first-quarter touchdown of the season -- and all it took was a little flip to running backBreece Hall on Sunday against the New York Giants.

On a first down from midfield, quarterbackZach Wilson found Hall out of the backfield on a short pass. Hall did the rest, eluding linebackers Bobby Okereke and Micah McFadden and sprinting for a 50-yard touchdown. It included 49 yards after the catch, as Hall reached a max speed of 20.58 mph, per Next Gen Stats.

It was Hall's third 50-yard play from scrimmage, tying him with the Dolphins' wide receiverTyreek Hill and running backDe'Von Achane for the most in the NFL.

It gave the Jets a 7-3 lead with 1:06 left in the first quarter.
