Jets beat Packers 30-10 in preseason

Three takeaways from the Jets 30-10 preseason win against the Packers.

Jets earn 30-10 win against Packers with three takeaways

The Jets beat the Packers 30-10 in Green Bay on Saturday night. The offense showed balance early as the run game opened holes for all three backs and Braelon Allen looked explosive. The line play helped create space and the team used a mix of runs to move the ball. Andrew Beck had two catches on the opening series, signaling potential versatility as a fullback and extra tight end. Stone Smartt added a second half touchdown on a designed play.

Defensively, Sauce Gardner was active in coverage and made a solid tackle in limited action. He drew a pass interference penalty, but overall his presence suggested the defense is developing a sharper edge. The result is a reminder that preseason results can hint at future depth even as the team waits on more players to prove themselves.

The Jets are signaling a broader plan beyond a single game script. A stronger run base could define the offense while using tight ends and Beck in multiple roles creates mismatches. The challenge will be maintaining consistency on the line and protecting the quarterback as the playbook expands.

Fans should stay cautious. Preseason wins can boost confidence but they do not prove a regular season outcome. The team must translate small sample sizes into durable improvements and avoid reading too much into a single game. The defense, including Gardner, must translate limited-time success into consistent coverages in the regular season.

Highlights

Next week will test these early gains against tougher competition.
