Jets’ Fitzpatrick limited with ailments, but should be OK
For Ryan Fitzpatrick, Brandon Marshall and the New York Jets, only Rex Ryan and his Buffalo Bills stand in their way of the NFL Playoffs.

“It’s onto the [New York] Jets”, Ryan concluded.
All of the pressure in this game is on the New York Jets, and that should work to Buffalo’s advantage.
“You look at the impact your words have in a negative light, I guess”, Ryan said. “I’m not overly concerned about that element of it”.
If the Jets win … they’re in.
One thing is certain, for better or worse Rex Ryan is a coach who always says what’s on his mind. And there was no hint of the overly-emotional Ryan who punched the air and had his headset fly off on the sideline while celebrating Buffalo’s 22-17 win at the Meadowlands. The Bills signed Ryan in the off-season to a five-year contract. He has just four sacks in 14 games this season.
If the Jets lose, the Steelers can claim the final Wild Card berth with a win over the Cleveland Browns.
“Obviously I wish I wouldn’t say some stupid thing that I said”, Ryan said Wednesday.
“I’m excited about the future, but all I want to do is focus on right now, the future is on Sunday and that’s as far as I’ll get in looking ahead”, Ryan said. The Bills spotted the Cowboys an early field goal, then held them to one more field goal over the last 55 minutes of the game. A 4-1 start was washed away by inconsistency, lost opportunities and a search for answers. “There really is no pressure”. Y’know, I get it. That’s just me. There’s no pressure on us. Unfortunately, we didn’t win enough games while we were there, especially in December. We’ve been having to win the past five weeks. While many players have contributed, it has been the play of quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick that has ignited the offense.
He threw for two touchdowns as the Jets claimed a 17-3 third-quarter lead Sunday against the Patriots, but New England scored a touchdown when Fitzpatrick fumbled as he tried to pass. In the Jets’ last four possessions of regulation, they had one field goal and three punts.
“It’s just fate”, Pace said, smiling. And Eric Decker, the receiver who was only a byproduct of Peyton Manning’s greatness, who has 11 touchdowns himself – including the game-winner on Sunday.
-Running back LeSean McCoy did not practice Wednesday and it’s highly unlikely that he will play on Sunday. “There’s a little bit of extra meaning there but I don’t think there needs to be with just the significance and importance of this game in terms of what’s at stake for us”. “There’s so much on the mental side of the game that you have to be able to think through, and you can’t be going a million miles an hour”. “I think that we’re fortunate that we both have a level of trust in each other”.

As for the Bills (7-8), Bowles said, “I know those guys are going to show up to play because they have a good football team”. But he made one critical catch in the fourth quarter that was one of the biggest plays of the game. At the same time, the person said veteran defensive tackle Kyle Williams’s job is safe, so long as he recovers from a season-ending left knee injury he sustained in a 34-21 loss to Cincinnati on October 18. “We understand what we’re going up against”.
