New York Jets throttle Tennessee Titans, embrace playoff possibility
If the Jets are to get to the postseason for the first time since 2010, they’ll likely do so on the arms and legs of Fitzpatrick and Marshall, who have played a combined 259 regular-season games without ever appearing in the playoffs.

Marshall has found some incredible rhythm with Jets quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick recently and is fresh off a 131-yard performance against the New York Giants last week that saw him haul in 12 of 13 targets, including the game-tying touchdown. “We’re constantly working at it, still working at it. But it’s been good that they’ve grown together”.
Kicker Randy Bullock missed a 53-yard field goal on the Jets’ next series but capped the next two drives with field goals of 47 yards and 27 yards. Mariota was sacked five times, including three times by DE Muhammad Wilkerson, and hit two more times.
“That’s the media talking, it’s a trap game”, defensive lineman Sheldon Richardson said.
“If you looked at that long run, there were some really bad angles taken on him, and that happens a lot when guys with his kind of speed are breaking the pocket”, Mularkey said. Walker has caught 67 passes this year for 800 yards which is just 90 short of his mark last year. The Titans offered no resistance as the pass-catching trio accounted for 18 receptions and all but 18 of the Jets’ passing yards.
The Titans had struggled to execute the play in practice all week. But the Titans got on the board with 4:09 left in the third quarter on a 41-yard touchdown pass from running back Antonio Andrews to quarterback Marcus Mariota, who lined up wide right and raced past Jets safety Calvin Pryor after Pryor slipped. Rookie Marcus Mariota threw for three scores and rushed for 112 yards and a touchdown in the wild contest.
I want to write my own piece of the psyche of a No. 1 receiver or prima donnas or what we call divas. Chan Gailey has historically been able to get the best out of Fitzpatrick, his tenure in Buffalo netted Fitzpatrick a multi-million $$ deal. They could also become the first Jets WR duo to eclipse 1,000 yards receiving since Keyshawn Johnson and Wayne Chrebet did it in 1998. He’s thrown a career-high 25 touchdowns compared to just 11 interceptions – nine touchdowns and no interceptions during the Jets’ current three-game winning streak – and has run for 232 yards, on pace to set a personal best, leading the Jets to a four-win improvement with three games to go.
“This guy just works hard and he’s had an interesting career”, Marshall said. The Titans will have to make a roster move to add a player to fill his spot. Tennessee dropped to 2-4 under interim coach Mike Mularkey.
“They caught us with it, caught us uncovered”, Mularkey said. The Titans will be fielding a very inexperienced team on Sunday. Fitzpatrick threw for 263 yards, 125 of those went to Brandon Marshall.
“Well, that was not good”, Mularkey said in opening his postgame press conference. “I don’t consider him a scrambling, running quarterback, but he is smart enough to see some things and help us out”.
Fitzpatrick isn’t getting ahead of himself, however, knowing he has three games left in the season with the hopes of getting the 8-5 Jets in the playoffs.

He powered a defense that sacked Mariota five times, including takedowns by Leonard Williams and Demario Davis.
