Former University of Hawaii linebacker Jeff Ulbrich earned his first win as an NFL head coach on Thursday night, leading the New York Jets to a 21-13 win over the Houston Texans.
Ulbrich took over the job on an interim basis after Robert Saleh was fired on Oct. 8. The Jets lost their first three games with Ulbrich at the helm, but improved to 3-6 on Thursday.
