Jets on verge of playoffs – with Rex Ryan standing in way

But that’s still Tom Brady back there in the pocket and that’s still Rob Gronkowski lining up at tight end, and when the two men connected for 26 yards late in the game, setting up a touchdown and erasing all of what had been left of a 14-point Jets lead, the ghosts of Jets past were looming large. The victory coupled with a Pittsburgh Steelers defeat, puts the Jets in control of their own destiny.

Milwaukee Bucks fall 111-90 to Toronto Raptors
DeRozan has carried the Raptors over the last 10 games or so. “To be honest, it should be better”, Lowry told reporters. On Saturday afternoon, Prunty took two of those run-busting timeouts during the second quarter against the Raptors .

For Buffalo, it was a bit different.


Marcus Mariota should sit out the remainder of the season
The Patriots have won two in a row since stumbling to consecutive losses – their first two-game losing streak since 2012. Mularkey said the rookie wanted to return against the Patriots, but the Titans chose to be cautious and protect Mariota.

If the Jets win there on Sunday, they are guaranteed a trip to the post-season. 500 and quiet some of the controversy swirling around the team.


A Rising Death Toll From Severe Weather
The rushing water separated the family as they got out of the vehicle , he said, but the boy was later reunited with his family. Oklahoma Governor Mary Fallin declared a state of emergency in expectation of an ice storm and blizzard conditions on Sunday.

In improving to 8-7, the Texans moved one step away from an AFC South title. But Fitzpatrick was masterful on the Jets’ five scoring drives, during which he was 20 of 24 for 263 yards and three touchdowns.

The Bills rushed for 240 yards.

Running back Tim Hightower produced 122 yards and two scores on 27 carries for the Saints (6-9).

There is little doubt though that this year’s game had a positive effect for the city’s economy as the visitors from North Carolina and IN spent millions on hotel rooms, restaurants, taxis, mass transit, and points of interest of which there is no shortage of course IN our town.

After being drafted in the fifth round by the Dolphins in 2013, he had 21 yards on six carries in tw0 seasons with Miami before being waived in this season’s final cut. In overtime, the Patriots elected to kick, which came as a surprise to many because teams usually want to try to be the first ones to score.

“I don’t really feel anything about it”, Ryan said. The Bills gave me a helluva opportunity and I’m taking advantage of it. The defending Super Bowl champion Patriots have been the class of the National Football League for more than a decade now, and no teams have felt the pain of their superiority more than their AFC East brethren. Lord knows the rule book is too big already but why should a team be penalized while waiting for a ball to be placed? We didn’t earn that this year. We’ve had multiple running backs lead the way. Fitzpatrick, now in his 11th (and most productive) season, and Gailey, who has been coaching professionally for much of the past 40 years, first worked together with the Bills from 2009-2012, posting a win-loss record of 20-33. “Start preparing now. Start preparing that we’re going to be playing games in January”.

And the did, but not as big a chance as Belichick took.

Of his own performance, Taylor explained, “A couple of runs were called and some of it was just me improvising”. But it’s very easy for the Jets – keep it simple and win in Western New York. So instead of analyzing the Bills victory, I thought I’d share some random thoughts I had during this game and while checking out other action on the Red Zone channel.

“We’re going to treat it the same”, Bowles said of the approach for Sunday’s game. There’s no pressure on us. “It always is going up against his type of defenses, the way they’re coached up and the way that they play”.

“A guy like Mike Gillislee, Karlos stepping in … that’s impressive against a good defensive unit”.

The last thing Ryan wants is for his successor to break the Jets’ four-year playoff drought, especially when he was unable to break the Bills’ 15-year playoff drought.

“I think that the belief has been there from Day 1 and it hasn’t wavered”. The official near the play got the ball and flipped it to another official who had to run to the spot where the ball had to be placed for the next play.
