“It wasn’t good“. “We lost because of execution”.

The Eagles raced to an early 24-0 lead in the first half as running back Darren Sproles had two touchdowns via a punt return and a short rush, as per SB Nation.
“That’s a recipe for disaster”, Fitzpatrick said. Again, like I said to the team, we’ve played three games out of a 16-game schedule. Ryan Fitzpatrick completed 35 of 58 passes for 283 yards and two touchdowns, but with three interceptions. “That’s not our formula for success”. “It’s my answer. Sometimes you may want to retract things but there’s not a lot of that from me”.
None of this would solve every problem for the Dolphins (tackling?), but it should at least improve the team for a week. Defensively, the Jets yield 191.7 yards in passing and 106.7 yards in rushing. Tannehill has a touchdown pass in seven straight games.
And for those who were with the team last season, there also was a bit of deja vu that bodes well for next weekend if form holds true. Coyle said he realizes he must do a better job of putting his players in the right position to succeed.
“It’s something we’re all going to have to fight through”, said the Jets center, who has been to London multiple times, including to see his sister, Holley, compete in the Olympics in 2012. The latest National Football League point spreads indicate that the New York Jets [-2½] will be betting favorites by less than a field goal over the Miami Dolphins [+2½], and the OVER/UNDER for this contest is set at a combined total of 41 points.
“It’s just as important not to overreact for a loss as it is to a win”, he said.
Next up for the Jets is a trip to London to play the AFC East rival Miami Dolphins on Sunday.
“I love the 1 o’clock game and getting home and eating food from the crockpot and doing all that, but I think it’s exciting, too”, Fitzpatrick said. “It’s hard to say no. I mean, eventually, I would think there’s going to be a team there, but who knows when that is going to be”. “It will be a unique experience for all of us and hopefully bring the team together even more“.
ESPN’s Rich Cimini reported that the sleep therapist spoke with players and offered a variety of tips on how to account for the five-hour time difference between New York City and London, including extra sleep over the course of the next five days and cutting back on caffeine. Miami is going to need to keep the Jets in 3rd and long and then get off the field. The Jets will practice Wednesday and Thursday, and then fly from Newark to London after Thursday’s practice.

“Just getting our bodies acclimated and everything with the time change will be interesting”, Fitzpatrick said. The Jets are 23-9-1 ATS in their last 33 meetings.
