PITTSBURGH — Onlookers at Friday night’s game witnessed an electrifying moment courtesy of David Bailey, echoing what the Jets have anticipated all summer.

Early in the game, during the Steelers’ second possession, Jets newcomer David Bailey demonstrated his prowess. He expertly slipped past Steelers tackle Broderick Jones and brought down quarterback Will Howard, causing an 11-yard loss on a crucial third down.

“To me, it felt incredible,” Bailey shared with The Post following the Jets’ 17-0 triumph over the Steelers in the preseason. “It was a huge weight off my shoulders. Knowing my fellow line players and the coverage did their roles impeccably made it possible for me to capitalize on the opportunity.”

This was the kind of impactful performance the Jets had been eagerly awaiting from Bailey, especially after his understated showing in the game against the Buccaneers during the team’s preseason debut.

Selected as the No. 2 overall draft pick in April, the former Texas Tech sensation Bailey has been meeting expectations throughout training camp. Known for unsettling his own team’s offensive line, he also left a mark during joint practices with Tampa Bay. With rising hopes surrounding him, Bailey demonstrated yet again on Friday why he is one to watch this season.

“It was good to see that,” Jets head coach Aaron Glenn said. “Obviously, we know what he can do as far as a pass rusher. I already see in my head that there’s a couple of things that he has to improve on that showed up in the game and he will.”

In all, Bailey played 12 snaps and had two quarterback pressures and the one sack. It continues a strong summer for Bailey.

“I feel like camp has been pretty good,” Bailey said. “I’ve been trying to soak in everything while just trying to get better. It’s been a great experience.”

The Jets interception drought is not officially over but they at least showed promise of it ending sometime soon.

They came up with two interceptions of Steelers QB Will Howard on Friday night. Safety Andre Cisco secured the first pick, ending a Steelers drive at the Jets’ 14-yard line. CB Sam Womack picked off Howard just before halftime to give the Jets another one.

The Jets set an NFL record in 2025 with zero interceptions, an incredible mark. Jets defenders repeatedly have said that they are focused on ending that streak.

“We were celebrating for our guys,” cornerback Brandon Stephens said. “It was good to see. We went a whole year without seeing it. Just to get that feeling back of getting an interception, two of them, it was big time.”

The kicking competition continues.

Cade York attempted a 59-yard field goal at the end of the first half and missed wide right.

Jason Sanders made a 39-yard field goal in the fourth quarter to give the Jets a 10-0 lead.

NT T’Vondre Sweat and Edge Joseph Ossai did not play in the game after starting practice this week. The Jets are being cautious and bringing them along slowly. … TE Chase Curtis left the game with a knee injury. … DE Nate Lynn, who signed with the Jets this week, had two sacks. … LB Kiko Mauigoa did not play because of a sore hamstring.

Nestled in the rugged mountains of eastern Turkey, a peculiar geological structure resembling a ship has sparked intrigue for years, often dismissed as a mere rock formation.

However, an international team is investigating the Durupınar Formation located near Mount Ararat, suggesting it might house what remains of the legendary Noah’s Ark.

The Bible tells of a colossal ark that safeguarded Noah, his kin, and every animal species from a cataclysmic deluge, with some biblical timelines placing the event over 4,300 years in the past.

Recently, a cutting-edge radar analysis has revealed intriguing subsurface anomalies and distinct stratification within the 515-foot-long site, casting doubt on the view that it’s solely a solid rock mass.

Helmed by Dr. Khosrow Bakhtar, this exploration employed BakhtarRadar, an advanced imaging technology born from US Air Force research, enabling deeper examination of the terrain compared to past surveys.

Noah’s Ark Scans founder Andrew Jones, who is part of the research team, said the deeper readings processed so far had yet to reveal a clear boundary between the formation and the underlying bedrock.

The team is still analyzing the data and will use the results to select locations for core drilling that could establish what lies beneath the formation.

‘We believe the Durupınar Formation is the remains of Noah’s Ark, and that is exactly why we want to put it through the strongest scientific testing we can,’ Jones said.

However, the researchers acknowledged that the results are preliminary and that radar anomalies alone do not prove the formation has an archaeological origin.

Bakhtar shared: ‘My team and I are carefully evaluating the collected subsurface data, which aids in planning the core drilling pattern to be performed at the site. 

‘We will use BakhtarRadar’s unique capability to directly distinguish any still preserved petrified, man-worked timbers from the natural host formation and its varying mineralogy.’

The team expects to release a preliminary technical report in the coming weeks identifying the strongest anomalies, providing a clearer view of the underlying geology and determining the best locations for targeted core drilling. 

The samples would allow researchers to test the radar findings against physical evidence from inside the formation. 

Located just 18 miles south of Mount Ararat, Turkey’s highest peak, the Durupinar Formation has only been known to the modern world for less than a century.

According to local reports, heavy rains and earthquakes in May 1948 washed away the surrounding mud, revealing the mysterious formation. It was then discovered by a Kurdish shepherd.

The Bible states that Noah’s Ark came to rest on the ‘mountains of Ararat’ after a 150-day flood that drowned the Earth and every living creature not sheltered inside the wooden vessel.

What is intriguing is that the formation sits near a mountain with a peak that some believe matches the ark’s shape and dimensions. 

According to biblical measurements, the ark was ‘300 cubits long, 50 cubits wide, and 30 cubits high,’ roughly 515 feet long, 86 feet wide and 52 feet tall.

The idea that the ark landed on Mount Ararat has long sparked debate.

While many scientists argue that the formation is a naturally occurring geological feature, others are convinced it points to something far more extraordinary.

The team at Noah’s Ark Scans firmly believes the latter.

Jones has been investigating the site since 2016, using ground-penetrating radar to see deeper underground, finding what he believes is a network of ‘corridors’ converging on a hollow central chamber he dubbed the atrium.

He linked the discovery to the Bible’s description of the Ark, which states the boat contained three internal levels built to shelter Noah, his family and pairs of animals.

‘God told Noah to bring the animals in. And so these animals would have stayed there, plus Noah and his family,’ Jones told GB News.

‘What’s interesting is that these voids are lining up below the ground – and they’re not just random. These tunnels also follow a pattern. GPR is just a way to look below the soil using radar.’

He added that further studies using infrared thermography (IRT), a heat-sensing technology that can uncover hidden structures underground, have also suggested the presence of a ship-shaped hull buried deep in the soil.

Jones told GB News that he and his team collected 88 samples from inside and outside of the ship in 2024.

Soil testing in the area showed extremely high levels of potassium, consistent with massive amounts of decomposed lumber.

‘However, due to the extremely cold climate, many parts of the Ark are still intact and petrified. It spends almost six months out of the year completely frozen,’ Noah’s Ark Scans explained in an X post.

In 2024, Jones revealed that he and his team uncovered angular structures as deep as 20 feet beneath the surface, features that could represent rooms below a deck-like platform.

In Genesis 6:14, the Bible describes the ark: ‘Make thee an ark of gopher wood; rooms shalt thou make in the ark, and shalt pitch it within and without with pitch.’

‘This is not what you’d expect to see if the site were simply a solid block of rock or the result of random mudflow debris,’ Jones told The Christian Broadcasting Network.

‘But it is exactly what you’d expect to find if this were a man-made boat, consistent with the biblical specifications of Noah’s Ark.’

The team has also performed soil testing, uncovering what Jones described as ‘some interesting things.’

‘We noticed that the grass growing within the boat-shaped formation is a different color compared to the area just outside it,’ Jones said, suggesting this could point to a man-made origin rather than a natural one.

William Crabtree, another member of Noah’s Ark Scans, added that a tunnel appears to run from the tip of the formation toward the middle, and it is large enough to walk through.

‘The ultimate goal is not just soil test, which is great, or GPR scans, but to get inside the ship somehow,’ Jones told Patterns of Evidence.

‘Core drilling, getting samples deep inside of it to where we see the substructure, these voids, put a camera in it. This is an opportunity coming up that possibly will allow us to do that next season.

‘Whatever happens, whenever God opens doors, we will continue working on the site.’
