Marshall and Fitzpatrick saw it, they quick snapped, and the result was a 69 yard Jets’ touchdown.

Yet, here he is with the New York Jets, leading perhaps the NFL’s most surprisingly unsafe offense into a playoff push.
Meanwhile the Titans defense struggled for the second week in a row. With the Cowboys, Patriots, and Bills looming, the New York Jets could have looked past the 3-9 Tennessee Titans.
(East Rutherford, NJ) – The Tennessee Titans lost badly to the New York Jets on Sunday 30 to 8.
With Sunday’s victory, the Jets remained tied with the Kansas City Chiefs and Pittsburgh Steelers in the wild-card race, though the Jets are now hold the second wild-card spot by virtue of a better conference record (6-4 vs. 5-4) than the Steelers. The running game has been great at times for the Jets this season, but consistency has been an issue on the ground this season.
“Most receivers have this mentality where they think that their play is going to change the game”, Marshall said.
He’s a ideal case study, the journeyman who played for six teams in 10 seasons, enjoying one of the best seasons any Jets signal-caller has ever had.
“You can see us taking some plays off”, Walker said. “I think simplifying things has been good for us”.
The stoic Bowles was smiling after the game, although he did have one complaint. I got like five of them to hand out to wide receivers and make an Instagram post, something cool.
The second half was a mere formality, and for the most part, the Jets treated it that way. The score doesn’t even indicate how badly the Jets outplayed the Titans, and they run their record to 8-5, marking their first three game winning streak since 2011. The tackle saved a touchdown. And the Jets’ franchise mark, which was broken by Marshall-Decker two weeks earlier vs. Miami, was set by Art Powell and Don Maynard at five games back in the first seasons of the Titans of NY in 1960.
“He’s had success in this league – maybe not this consistent, but he’s had success – and he’s at peace with himself”, Bowles said.
Douglas, an eighth-year pro, and Pryor both played college ball for Louisville. When asked about possible trap games in the schedule, Bowles said his team wasn’t the Golden State Warriors and they are not enough to worry about being trapped. “But it’s all good because he went to Louisville”. It was Skrine’s first interception as a Jet. Marshall is having a great first season with the Jets, as he has totaled 89 receptions, 1,187 receiving yards, and 11 receiving touchdowns.
Gailey had a big say in trading for Ryan Fitzpatrick, his quarterback in Buffalo, and the deal has since turned into a godsend.
“We had yet to start fast this year and jump out to a lead and play from ahead”, head coach Todd Bowles said of the Jets, who were outscored 140-121 in the first half of their first 12 games.
