Jets force five turnovers in defeat of Colts

It looks like he brought it over to the Jets as well. “That’s a pretty glaring issue”.

Part of the problem was Revis and his teammates.

Cornerback Buster Skrine had a team-leading eight tackles in the 20-7 victory against the Colts, and cornerback Darrelle Revis accounted for three takeaways, an interception of Andrew Luck, a recovery of a Luck fumble and a recovery of a Frank Gore fumble.

While the Colts didn’t allow many blunders on special teams, the fact that kicker Adam Vinatieri missed yet another field goal last night, this one from 29 yards out. He has already missed twice this season, including a 29-yard attempt in the first quarter that caromed off the right upright.

“You’re not going to beat Zionsville doing that”, Pagano said, referring to a high school football team. We have a great player and a great leader there. “If we can stay ahead of the chains on first and second down and get third-and-manageables, then we’ve got a chance”.

The Colts are a mess, and I don’t know why Pagano thinks publicly challenging his quarterback is going to fix anything.

Revis’ homecoming has been everything New York fans sought after. If the Colts fall behind, they may not receive many opportunities to claw back into the game like they have before. The Colts – whose offense was supposed to be among the NFL’s best – have scored three touchdowns and committed eight turnovers in their two defeats.

“The name of the game is turnovers and keeping the score down, regardless of whatever else happens”, Bowles said. The outcome: New York is headed toward its initial 2-0 begin subsequent to 2011.

This time seems different.

Luck finished 21 of 37 for 250 yards and one touchdown. Donte Moncrief was the only receiver to top the 50-yard mark. In the second half, Marshall took over finishing with 7 receptions for 101 yards and a nasty hustle touchdown driving it in to put the Jets up big.

“You just gotta take care of the football”.

“Can’t turn the damn ball over”, Pagano said.

While on the surface that’s a criticism of Luck adapting to a situation, it’s a veiled criticism of the job Grigson has done as GM: ‘Luck’s never had enough protection, so he should be used to it by now, ‘ basically. Chris Ivory is a solid running back. Four plays later, Ryan Fitzpatrick threw a 6-yard TD pass to Eric Decker.

Ryan Fitzpatrick finished 22 of 34 for 244 yards with two touchdown passes and one interception.

2) He has one of the lowest QB ratings so far this season.

. That’s nothing new for him as he’s allowed 3 ER or less in 9 of his previous 10 starts.

But the Jets still struggled to put this one away.

After the Gilchrist pick, Nick Folk kicked a 46-yard field goal with 57 seconds to play, extending the Jets’ lead to 13 points.
