Yes. For 1 week
What’s the matter? Can’t take a joke? But I disagree. A prevent defense is used in a variety of situations, such as preventing conversion of a third and long or giving the offense the center of the field to keep the clock running. The Hail Mary at the end of a game when the offense is behind by more than three points is one situation where a prevent defense is employed. In general terms any defense with five or more defensive backs is a prevent defense. In the play under discussion there were seven defensive backs, one linebacker and three defensive linemen in what is referred to as the quarter defensive formation and it is one type of a prevent defense.
From my vantage the Jets did something yesterday that no other team had ever done. That is, score two touchdowns with less than two minutes to win the game when they had no timeouts remaining! With 22 second to spare! So many Browns fans left when it was 30-17 and were in the parking lot that the few Jet fans were surfing on their tears. Hanging ten baby.
Close, but I think New England beats them by a sliver. The infamous MNF meltdown of Buffalo versus the Pats in 2009 had the Pats scoring 2 TDs to beat the Bills in the final minutes of that game.
And how many TO's did NE have? How much time remained on the clock giving the other team a chance to win the game? Which of the teams you mentioned did it with a 37 year old QB that most people didn't even know was still in the league? Finally, which of those teams had their primary receiver who, as a rookie, scored the winning TD? Even without the TO factor, what the Jets did hadn't been done in 21 years. IMO it ain't close.Close, but I think New England beats them by a sliver.

"McKelvin's fumble at Buffalo's 31 led to the Patriots scoring their second touchdown in a span of 76 seconds, and capped a rally in which they overcame an 11-point deficit in the final 2:06."

You're including details that weren't in the post I responded to, however I remember NE having quite a few turnovers in that game. You noted the timespan for the Jets to make their comeback. The MNF game example was for comparison. You don't think it's close, then we'll agree to disagree.
Not turnovers, but timeouts. The Jets stated their comeback with 1:55 left, 13 points down, and no timeouts remaining. They actually did it all in 93 seconds. That, as far as I know, is unprecedented.
For a second there I thought we were gonna have a mass fainting episode. Only got a few of them though.
Yup, ask Jason Garrett (ex coach of Dallas Cowboys.) Watching the playoffs in amazement as he tried prevent defense against the Green Bay Packers and Aaron Rodgers. #Fail. Yet he would try it over and over again, solidifying the definition of insanity as he somehow expected a different result. Just baffling.
