Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson expressed disappointment with the team's final possession strategy in the first half against the Broncos, criticizing the lack of urgency and clarity in the play call, which led to Wilson shouting at coach Aaron Glenn. Glenn explained the decision was to prevent the Broncos from getting the ball back with time to score, and acknowledged Wilson's frustration.
Minnesota Gophers head coach P.J. Fleck explained his decision to let the clock run before halftime during their 27-12 win over Michigan State, despite some fans booing. Fleck wanted to avoid giving the ball back to the Spartans with time on the clock and believed that under 30 seconds was enough time to score with a timeout. The Gophers' offense had struggled in the first half, but they successfully scored a touchdown before halftime. With the win, Minnesota moved into a four-way tie for first place in the Big Ten West Division and is one victory away from bowl eligibility. Fleck expressed gratitude to the fans for their support.
