Rookie Cade Klubnik Leads 2 Scoring Drives After Geno Smith Is Scratched in Jets’ 24-16 Loss to Bucs

Klubnik completed 5 of 7 passes for 56 yards and helped New York score on both of his drives.

  • On Friday night, rookie quarterback Cade Klubnik led the New York Jets on two scoring drives in their preseason opener, but the team fell to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 24-16 at MetLife Stadium.
  • Jets coach Aaron Glenn started Klubnik after deciding to rest Geno Smith due to a sore foot, a precautionary measure following the quarterback's injury during Wednesday's joint practice.
  • Klubnik guided the offense to a 10-0 lead, completing 5 of 7 passes for 56 yards while Braelon Allen capped a drive with a 31-yard touchdown dash.
  • Replacing Klubnik, backup Bailey Zappe threw two interceptions, including a pick-6 returned by undrafted rookie Ayden Garnes, allowing the Buccaneers to rally for the 24-16 victory.
  • The Buccaneers host Kansas City on August 22, while the Jets travel to Pittsburgh on August 21 for their next preseason matchups.
