Andrews took the direct snap _ with Mariota lined up wide _ and floated a pass down the right sideline.

Brandon Marshall, Eric Decker and Bilal Powell each caught TD passes for the Jets (8-5), who stayed on track in the AFC playoff race with their first three-game winning streak since 2011.
Fantasy Impact: It wasn’t a good day for any of the Titans as the Jets dominated every facet of the game.
Fitzpatrick has passed for 3,129 yards with 25 touchdowns and 11 interceptions this season. Once they have the results of the MRI, it will likely be confirmed by the medical staff that Smith’s season will end how it began, with a serious injury.
“I’d love to be back”, Fitzpatrick said Tuesday (via the New York Post). “I think the chemistry, everybody is starting to understand the offense, what we’re trying to get done”.
“It’s going to be exciting to see what happens the next few weeks with our group”. Traded twice and released three times, he came to the Jets with no expectations. The Cowboys (4-9) will be the Jets’ fourth straight sub-.500 opponent.
They went with the latter, which says at least about as much about interim coach Mike Mularkey and the command he has on the team as any of the two vctories since Ken Whisenhunt was sacked.
“We’re playing good football, but we still have a long way to go”, Pryor said. “Try to win out in December”. He didn’t single out any specific player Monday, instead making it clear the effort given in the Jets’ loss is not what the Titans want.
Does Brandon Marshall think Ryan Fitzpatrick has exceeded expectations as the Jets’ quarterback this season? Sure, it’s on his non-throwing hand, but Fitzpatrick has played through it and thrived.
The running game has also been solid, with Chris Ivory 86 yards away from his first career 1,000-yard season.
After pushing a 53-yard attempt wide left on the Jets’ next drive, Bullock kicked a 47-yarder to give NY a 10-0 lead.
So, if it takes trickery to get on the scoreboard, so be it. Tennessee trailed the Jets 27-0 in the third quarter, when it pulled one out of the bag. The Jets promptly drove 80 yards for a touchdown and never looked back en route to a 30-8 rout of Tennessee.
Mariota (21-of-39 for 274 yards) was sacked five times, including three times by Jets defensive end Muhammad Wilkerson. On Sunday, Smith was held without a catch on three targets. Fitzpatrick has been almost ideal over the last three weeks posting 930 yards passing, 66 yards rushing, and nine touchdowns to no interceptions.

The veteran quarterback quickly snapped the ball and threw to Marshall, who outraced the Tennessee defense to the end zone for a 69-yard TD and a 27-0 lead with 1:35 left in the first half. The Chiefs are sitting at 7-2 in the conference, while the Jets are 6-4 and the Steelers are 5-4. P Ryan Quigley took the first half off before averaging 46 yards on three second-half punts, only one of which was returned.
