Bill Kostroun/New York Post Something bad The joint practice with the Buccaneers ended with a two-minute drill. The Buccaneers offense went first and Mayfield diced up the Jets defense, going 68 yards and scoring a touchdown. Mayfield went 5-for-6 on the drive and threw a touchdown pass to Cade Otton. The Jets offense then got the ball at their own 32 and they sputtered. Braelon Allen had a drop and the offense had three penalties. The drive stalled at the Tampa 43 and Jason Sanders missed a 61-yard field goal, coming up way short.
Tight end Jeremy Ruckert made the catch of the day for a 19-yard gain during the two-minute drill. He leaped and made a catch of a high pass from Geno Smith. Ruckert has had a strong camp.
