Yahoo Sports NFL on Josh Johnson
From the article
He played in the final three quarters of a 2021 game, after Mike White got knocked by the Colts and their head coach, current Jets offensive coordinator Frank Reich. However, Johnson passed for 317 yards and almost led the Jets within striking difference after they had trailed 42-10 late in the third quarter. With the Jets down 15, Johnson had the Jets in the red zone with over a minute remaining, and a touchdown would have made it a one-possession game with a chance to go for an onside kick.
STACKED’s take
Johnson's 317-yard relief performance nearly led Jets back from 42-10 deficit in 2021.
Johnson, who has played for 14 NFL teams since 2008, had one of his most impressive performances in limited Jets action: in 2021, after Mike White was knocked out by the Colts, Johnson played the final three quarters and passed for 317 yards, nearly leading the Jets back from a 42-10 deficit; with the Jets down 15, he had them in the red zone with over a minute remaining, and a touchdown would have made it a one-possession game, though a deflected pass was intercepted to end the threat. He never got another chance with the Jets but then put up another 300-yard game in his only start of 2022 with the Ravens—an impressive ratio of one 300-yard passing performance in zero starts as a Jet.
