Powell, Petty rally Jets past 49ers 23-17 in overtime
SANTA CLARA, Calif. — Bilal Powell made sure that Bryce Petty’s rough start had a positive finish for the New York Jets.
Powell ran for 145 yards, including the game-ending 19-yard touchdown in overtime, to help Petty and the New York Jets rally from 14 points down to beat the San Francisco 49ers 23-17 on Sunday.
“It shows the character we have,” Powell said. “It’s not the season that everyone was expecting but we keep fighting and we have a lot of guys on the team who showed a lot of pride.”
Petty threw an interception on his first pass of the game and the Jets (4-9) trailed 14-0 less than five minutes into the game.
