“But we’ve got a great opportunity in front of us”.

While dropped passes certainly stifled the Titans’ offense, it is arguable that the Titans’ heaviest blunder resulted from the defense with 1:30 remaining in the second quarter. Though the Titans are 7.5 point dogs, it is not inconceivable that the team scores a big win over a Jets team still trying to secure that wild card spot. While Marshall had his 8 100-yard receiving game of 2015, Ivory topped the 100-yard rushing mark for the third time this season. But we’ve talked as well.
The Titans started the game horribly on both sides of the ball trailing 27-0 at halftime. They picked up where they left off Sunday, when the Jets scored on five of six first-half possessions and led 27-0 at intermission. Titans interim head coach Mike Mularkey faced the Jets for the seventh time as a head coach. “We’re not that good”. “We are definitely going to come back and work even harder and come ready to play next week”. The drought ties the Titans with the Miami Dolphins for the seventh-longest playoff dry spell in the NFL. He might not be quite as good as he was, but Revis is a four-time All-Pro who single-handedly has shut down some of the NFL’s best wide receivers over the years – and no one has confused the Titans’ current crop of wide receivers with the NFL’s best. As the 2015 regular season nears its end, Mularkey will fight to earn the head coaching position for the 2016 season. The Titans have started three different running backs with Bishop Sankey, the second-round draft pick out of Washington past year, benched in favor of Antonio Andrews, an undrafted free agent in his second season. “That includes Ruston Webster”. Receivers Brandon Marshall and Eric Decker also came up huge in the victory totaling for 232 yards combined. The Jets outgained the Titans 439-292 overall. So what happened Sunday?
Superlatives Aplenty: QB Ryan Fitzpatrick, RB Chris Ivory and DE Muhammad Wilkerson all reached season personal-highs. Afterward, left tackle Taylor Lewan flapped his arms in disgust. The quarterback ended the game passing for 335 yards and a touchdown.
“We’re peaking”, strong safety Calvin Pryor said of the Jets’ defense.
The Jets were coming off a big divisional win. It marked Powell’s second straight game with a touchdown catch. Even the ground game was bottled up, managing only 24 yards on 13 carries. Mariota then threw a two-point conversion to running back Dexter McCluster. Meanwhile, Fitzpatrick continued to make the case that the Jets shouldn’t let him become a free agent this upcoming offseason, completing 21 of 36 pass attempts for 263 yards and three touchdowns in his third consecutive turnover-free game. I had some experience in high school playing receiver. He threw a 37-yard completion as a freshman at Western Kentucky in 2009. In his last three games – also, since he trimmed his bushy beard – Fitzpatrick is 79 of 123 for 930 yards and nine touchdowns with no interceptions for a passer rating of 111.5.

The New York Jets were expected to be a defensive powerhouse, but it turns out that Ryan Fitzpatrick had another idea. The Titans announced Friday that Wright would be out Sunday due to the injuries he suffered in a 42-39 win over the Jaguars on December 6. He is averaging 91.3 yards per game, the second-best clip of his career.
