But then a cracking sliding catch from Corey Davis keeps the Jets alive. New York are in the redzone but only 35 seconds remain. Stranger things have happened but not many.

Wilson, though, wastes a good 10 seconds on the next play, scanning the field for a receiver he cannot find before throwing the ball away. 42 seconds left.

Zach Wilson has showed plenty in this second half and he connects with Keelan Cole and then Ty Johnson to keep this Jets drive going, over halfway.

Still a big ask, though with 1:17 remaining - they need a score, an onside kick and another score.

The Jets in hurry-up mode now but Zach Wilson is sacked on second down and New York is going to have third down and long after the two-minute warning.

Only the formalities to be completed now surely.

Cordarrelle Patterson converts another Atlanta first down and this game is coming down to this drive.

Two and a half minutes left - a Falcons touchdown wins it. If they have to settle for a field goal, the Jets still have a chance.

But Atlanta are inside the New York five-yard line.

You better believe this London crowd knows its football. Huge jeers from the stands to drown out the audibles from the Atlanta offence.

And that's before a member of the Jets' staff turns to the fans and waves his arms up as if to say 'make it loud!'

Is that the game-defining moment?

A penalty backs Atlanta up to third-and-13 but Matt Ryan hammers a throw to Olamide Zaccheaus and he crashes through a tackle to claim a first down.

Biggest cheer of the day as Zach Wilson completes that pass for the two-point conversion. The Jets are now within a field goal - and there's nearly seven minutes left. Game on!

They've just announced the attendance too, 60,589 - that's the biggest yet for an NFL game at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, and they're bouncing!

Kyle Pitts has been Atlanta's shining light today.

The tight end, who opened the scoring earlier on, just made his eighth catch of the day and what a catch it was.

Down the middle from Matt Ryan, Wilson knows he is going to get crunched by defenders either side but still catches the ball and hangs on for a big 40-yard plus gain.

What have you got, Atlanta?

The lead was 17 points at half-time. It's now three.

The Falcons shooting themselves in the foot again.

Zach Wilson goes long, real long. Elijah Moore is waiting in the endzone but AJ Terrell puts his arm in the receiver's face - clear pass interference.

But just as the Jets take a step forward, they take one back - a 10-yard penalty for illegal hands to the face.

Then another step forward - Zach Wilson threads a lovely pass down the middle for Denzel Mims' first reception of the night. Jets into Atlanta's half here.

A massive first-down completion for the Jets - 23 yards to wide receiver Keelan Cole for Zach Wilson.

Could they?

Big penalty against the Falcons - but a pretty blatant one as Matt Ryan looks certain to be sacked, only for one of his offensive linemen to tug the Jets man back.

Ryan bullets the ball downfield but the action is called back for the penalty - and a couple of short passes later, the Falcons are forced to punt.

Jets still in this, just - but they need two scores with nine and a half minutes remaining.

That Zaccheaus catch was Matt Ryan's 5,000th NFL pass completion - he's the second fastest quarterback in history to reach that mark.

He's been a solid hand at centre for Atlanta for quite some now - but just that one Super Bowl appearance, in that unforgettable Patriots come-from-behind victory.

A tidy one-handed catch from Olamide Zaccheaus to begin the fourth quarter for the Atlanta Falcons.

Mike Davis then gets the yard the Falcons need for a first down. If Atlanta score a touchdown on this drive, it's all over surely.
