On Sunday, Revis’s absence might be offset by a knee injury to Miami’s top receiver, Jarvis Landry, who has missed two of three practices this week and is questionable for the game. A loss here would have ended their hopes of making it to the NFL Playoffs while a win would help keep them in the Wild Card race. The Jets are holding opposing quarterbacks to an 82.3 passer rating – seventh-best in the National Football League – although they might be without cornerback Darrelle Revis, who is recovering from a concussion. “That’s the problem. I just think we need to execute better”. The good news is that interim head coach Dan Campbell views this as basically an elimination game, even though he stopped short of saying that.

FLORHAM PARK, N.J.-The Jets appear handicapped in Sunday’s home game against the Dolphins.
After a healthy slate of Thanksgiving football, there still are a whopping 13 games left on the NFL schedule this week, meaning fantasy football owners have plenty of last-minute waiver wire options for this weekend’s games.
Considering that his team was one of the league’s biggest surprises just five weeks ago, nobody can blame Bowles for being frustrated. “I think, fortunately and unfortunately, that I have got a lot of experience in playing for teams that have been in this situation where we lost a few games and we have got to stay the course, we have got to right the ship”. Coples was an outside linebacker in the Jets’ 3-4 scheme, but was not a good fit.
“I like his poise”, Bowles said. They can maybe afford one loss, but that would have to be against the New England Patriots in Week 17. “We’re trying to get back to that”. Opponents either have figured out how to slow Jets running back Chris Ivory, who had a career-high 166 rushing yards in London, or injuries have slowed him down … or both. Wide receiver Brandon Marshall (toe) was limited. Like the Dolphins, New York has had plenty of issues moving the chains this year and suffer from a lack of explosiveness on offense that is unlikely to be cured anytime soon.
“I think calling a game a must-win is creating too much pressure for yourself”, he said.

“He has been the quarterback of this offensive line for a long time”, Bowles said.
