Decker missed Week 3 and did not practice on Wednesday, before returning to the field for a limited practice on Thursday. When Fitzpatrick dived toward the sideline, Suh’s foot made contact with Fitzpatrick’s helmet. Eric Decker, who did not play last week because of a knee injury, had four catches for 46 yards. On the big stage in London to kick off the worldwide Series, Ivory totaled a career-high 166 rushing yards to go along with a rushing touchdown. Marshall continues to dominate as the Jets number 1 wide receiver and went 7 of 11 from the field for 128 yards and a touchdown.
With each broken tackle, Ivory reminded everyone he’s the key to the offense, not Ryan Fitzpatrick and not Brandon Marshall. He practiced again on Friday and was considered a game-time decision. They haven’t played flawless football yet as they drew many unnecessary penalties and had a few consistency issues but at the end of the day, a win is a win in my book. The Buffalo Bills have looked impressive this season, but in Week 4 they were handled rather easily by the New York Giants, who helped the Jets out in Week 4.
Enter 2015, with Mike Maccagnan taking over as the general manager and Arizona Cardinals defensive coordinator Todd Bowles taking over for Rex Ryan as the head coach.
