During CBS’ game broadcast, a sideline reporter said Fitzpatrick told them during a production meeting that he probably wouldn’t wait until after the season to have surgery to fix the thumb, and the reporter speculated that Friday could make sense since the Jets play Thursday night. On the other side, the Jaguars coughed the ball up four times. NY worked out a few kickers Monday, including Randy Bullock, after Folk was injured in pregame warmups Sunday.

“It was frustrating, but a win’s a win and we’re going to continue to work and move on”, said guard Brian Winters. “You look back on it, a lot of these were self-inflicted, the turnovers and the penalties at inopportune times”.
The Jaguars quickly responded, with a touchdown pass from Bortles to wide receiver Bryan Walters, but the Jets recovered the ensuing onside kick.
The Jaguars got within five on Myers’ 35-yard field goal with 10:18 left. The Jets also gave up a 45-yard run to running back T.J. Yeldon in the fourth quarter. They will try to break that streak next Sunday, when they travel to Baltimore to take on the Ravens. Bortles’ pass from his own end zone with under a minute left was picked off by Jets cornerback Marcus Williams.

It would be one thing if Jacksonville was a veteran-laden team and having these breakdowns late in games, but the Jaguars are extremely young and are throwing their youngest players in the fire quickly.
That challenge doesn’t have much to do with the opponent, the Jacksonville Jaguars, but rather the in-team bumps in the road the Jets seem to be facing this Sunday. Decker caught a 15-yard pass, setting up the first of Ivory’s two TD runs – with this one putting the Jets up 14-3 with 43 seconds left in the opening quarter. He was strip sacked and lost a key fumble in the fourth quarter.
