GREEN BAY, Wisc. — The Jets pulled off a stunning 27-10 victory over the Packers at Lambeau Field on Sunday. Here are some thoughts and observations from the game:

1. The Jets have found an identity. Over the last two weeks, this team has gone back to the days of Ground and Pound. They are relying on a dominant defense and a strong running game to beat up their opponents, wearing them down and then pulling away in the second half.

In many ways it is reminiscent of Rex Ryan and the 2009 Jets. They seem to be operating around their quarterback. Zach Wilson only threw 18 times against the Packers for 110 yards, with 41 of those coming on one play. But the key is Wilson did not turn it over. He had a couple of near interceptions but the Packers did not take it away. This is now two straight weeks that the Jets have not turned the ball over.

The 2009 Jets operated the same way, not asking rookie Mark Sanchez to do too much. They had the No. 1 defense and No. 1 rushing offense that year and won games when Sanchez did not kill them. Then, they leaned on Sanchez in the playoffs and he delivered.

This team has a long way to go before we start talking about playoff plans for Wilson, but the regular-season plan could look a lot like those 2009 Jets that finished 9-7. Breece Hall ran for 116 yards and a touchdown in Sunday’s game and has emerged as a Thomas Jones-like figure in this offense. When they don’t give it to him, you find yourself wondering why. I’m not sure this offensive line can match that 2009 line, but it took over the game in the second half Sunday and wore the Packers out.

The key to this whole 2009 redux is the defense. The Jets are No. 9 in total defense (before the “Monday Night Football” game), a dramatic rise from 32nd last season. They are playing well at every level of the defense, just like in 2009. The defensive line is dominant. The linebackers are delivering big hits. The secondary is locking down receivers.

All of it adds up to some fun football to watch, something Jets fans have not had in a long while.

2. It’s easy to forget how good Quinnen Williams was at Alabama. Many people thought he might be the best player in the 2019 NFL Draft, even better than Nick Bosa, who went one spot ahead of him. But Williams has had an inconsistent NFL career, dealing with coaching changes and some injuries that have slowed him down.

It is fair to say Williams has arrived. Even though Williams has been in the league for four years now, he is only 24. He’s still a pup. But it is clear that Williams is entering his prime. He was the best player on the field on Sunday and second place was not close.

Williams looks unblockable at the moment. He dominates offensive linemen both in the run and pass game. Williams is on the way to a very nice payday. He has five sacks this season already.

Jets fans have seen high draft picks on the defensive line show flashes and then disappear. Muhammad Wilkerson, Sheldon Richardson and Leonard Williams all had their moments but never seemed to be able to find the gear that Quinnen Williams has found now.

Williams is having an All-Pro season and the Jets could hop on his back for long stretches this season.

3. Well, the Jets can no longer surprise anyone. After beating the Packers at Lambeau, the Jets showed they can play with nearly anyone in the NFL. Maybe the Bills will prove to be in a different class, but the Jets might even be able to give them trouble with the way they are playing.

The interesting thing to watch now is going to be the shift in how the Jets are perceived. At 4-2, the Jets are right near the top of the standings. I spoke to tight end C.J. Uzomah after the game about the win over the Packers being a statement game. He had an interesting answer.

“I think each game from here on out is going to be a huge statement game,” Uzomah said, “just because from the outside perspective, inside we know what we have, but the outside with the media, people are going to say, ‘what are they going to do next? When are they going to sputter? When are they going to fall or falter?’ It’s just up to us in here encouraging each other and making sure we stay on track.”

The Jets have three games before their bye — at the Broncos and then two at home with the Patriots and Bills. All of them now feel like big games.

4. The offensive line deserves some love. The Jets averaged 5.4 yards per carry on Sunday and Wilson was only sacked twice, and both may have been on him. The O-line took the game over in the second half and clearly wore the Packers out. The Jets chewed up six minutes of the fourth quarter and put the game away.

The current combination of Duane Brown, Laken Tomlinson, Connor McGovern, Nate Herbig and Alijah Vera-Tucker has been strong for the last two weeks. George Fant is eligible to come off of injured reserve next week, which could create an interesting decision. If Fant is healthy, do they put him back in the lineup or do they keep this group together? It won’t be an easy decision if the line plays like this again next week.

The Jets are now two games over .500 for the first time since the end of the 2015 season when they went 10-6.

Garrett Wilson only played 24 offensive snaps (44 percent). It may be because the Jets went to more two tight end sets in the second half when they were running the ball, but it still feels low for the rookie receiver.

Quinnen Williams was everywhere on Sunday. He had five tackles, two sacks, three quarterback hits, a forced fumble and a blocked field goal. The defensive tackle has become dominant.
