The New York Jets likely aren't breaking their 11-year playoff drought in 2022, but their future is looking increasingly bright with each passing week.

Breece Hall and Sauce Gardner were once again in starring roles in Sunday's 40-17 win over the Miami Dolphins, continuing to emerge as Rookie of the Year threats.

Hall totaled 197 yards and a touchdown, while Gardner recorded five tackles and a pass defensed to earn a heaping of social media praise.

The OROY and DROY both play for the New York Jets.

Rich @NotRichC
Who’s going to be the rookie of the week? Breece Hall again or the sauce boss

Crazy how the jets have both the OROY and the DROY, in Breece Hall and Sauce Gardner respectively.

Breece Hall is him. I don’t make up the rules.

What a Performance. Breece Hall is a Monster in the making <a href="https://t.co/DbTnzCsuFJ">https://t.co/DbTnzCsuFJ</a>

Hall and Gardner were both playing from behind in the odds race to win their respective Rookie of the Year honor. New Orleans Saints receiver Chris Olave was the favorite to win the OROY coming into the week, while Jacksonville Jaguars linebacker Devin Lloyd had an advantage in the DROY race.

Olave (four receptions, 54 yards, 1 TD) lost some of his advantage over Hall this week, while Lloyd (11 tackles) is still the overwhelming favorite after another stellar performance.

That said, the objects in their mirrors are closer than they appear.
