The New York Jets picked up their signature win of the Robert Saleh era — so far — on Sunday when they marched into Lambeau Field and absolutely thumped the Green Bay Packers by a 27-10 margin to improve to 4-2 on the season.
After the game, rookie cornerback Sauce Gardner was seen celebrating on the field with a Cheesehead on his head and hearing a lot of boos from Packers fans that stuck around after the defeat.
He appeared to be trying to wear it into the locker room until an unidentified Packers player ran by and knocked it off.

Now that is some world-class trolling/celebrating.
Gardner finished the day with three tackles and two pass breakups as the Jets completely shut down Aaron Rodgers and the Packers' offense. They are one of the most surprising stories in the NFL so far this season.
