Jets wrap up interview with DC Joe Whitt Jr. commanders.

Defensive coordinator Joe Whitt Jr. had an eventful weekend.

On Saturday night, Whitt’s unit forced five turnovers to help the Commanders beat the Lions 45-31. The win put them in the NFC Championship game for the first time in 33 years, but Whitt didn’t spend his Sunday celebrating the win.

The Jets announced that they have completed an interview with Whitt for their head coaching job. He is the 16th candidate interviewed by the team.

Whitt joined the Commanders this season and worked with Commanders head coach Dan Quinn in Dallas for the past three seasons. He also worked for the Falcons, Browns and Packers during his NFL coaching career.
