The Jets have struggled to find a consistent performer at quarterback for more than a decade, and Ryan Fitzpatrick has looked more like a backup throughout most of his 10-year career. “This is what all the work is for”.

Harris, who only joined the team on Tuesday, had 11 carries for 73 yards, including a long of 25 yards. The 49ers, 4-10 this season, have a banged up backfield. “It’s a game of inches and we fell short”.
The New York Jets can extend their winning streak to three games with a win against Mariota and the Tennessee Titans, but can the Jets O-line hold up against the Titans stout pass rush? Some guys don’t understand it (after) college, big bowl games and they won every game.

Hightower rushed for more than 100 yards for the first time since December 12, 2010, when he played for the Arizona Cardinals. If so, it was a great finale for a great Saint. “He’s made decisions like this before that are team decisions”.
“We’ll run him, and we’ll design runs that we’ll have enough guys to block all their guys because as soon as the quarterback can run, the playing surface is even…”, Titans interim head coach Mike Mularkey said. Brandon Marshall caught 12 of those passes for 131 yards and a touchdown against the Giants, becoming the first player in National Football League history to reach 1,000 receiving yards in a season for four different teams. Ivory will face a tough challenge as the Titans’ run defense seems to have sured itself up and has allowed just 3.4 yards per attempt to opposing runners over their last three. “We were focused, we were locked in and we’ve got to continue to stay locked in throughout the rest of the season”. Chris Ivory is being used less now that Bilal Powell is fully healthy and is a more talented pass-catcher out of the backfield. Fitzpatrick has been almost ideal over the last three weeks posting 930 yards passing, 66 yards rushing, and nine touchdowns to no interceptions. “I’m thinking about cutting it off, see if he can get a little better”, Bowles said, laughing. Inexperience will most likely hurt the Titans chances of victory, but having insider knowledge of the opposing quarterback and having players who are playing for their contract on defense, it should be a more interesting game than what each teams record would suggest. We at least needed to see the effort on the field.
Arsene Wenger: Arsenal players have ‘fantastic spirit’ and will bounce back
There is little time for Arsenal to wallow, though, as they take on another south-coast side, Bournemouth, on Monday. The first goal was offside, the second a foul and the third was a goal kick.
Currently, the Jets are slotted in the 6th position in the AFC playoff standings and they’re in a three-way tie for the last two spots. It was the Jets’ largest halftime lead since they led the Cincinnati Bengals 27-0 in the 2009 season finale. “They came out fresh and ready to go”.
Tennessee (3-10) dropped to 2-4 under Mularkey during a day of miscues for the Titans, including a communications failure when their headsets went silent moments before Marshall torched them with a 69-yard scoring catch.
Whatever happened, the Jets benefited from Fitzpatrick and Marshall being keenly aware of their surroundings.
The feeling is mutual for coach Todd Bowles, who recently told the Daily News that he “definitely” would be in favor of that.
The Titans were looking to win consecutive games for the first time since the end of the 2013 season. “The first half was a good example of if you play poorly in all three phases, you’re going to have a hard time against a good football team”.
Dominating DefenseThe Jets need Muhammad Wilkerson to continue dominating the way he did on Sunday. Jets WR Jeremy Kerley (calf) and WR Devin Smith (knee) were each injured in the second half….
