Ryan earns win in return to NY

Then, after the Bills offense wasted away most of the time remaining in the game, the first play of New York’s last gasp drive was intercepted by Buffalo safety Baccari Rambo, sending an equally euphoric and relieved Ryan into celebration mode on the sidelines.

Ryan got his call-back as Duke Williams returned a fumbled kickoff 19 yards for the go-ahead points, rookie Karlos Williams had a 26-yard touchdown catch and Dan Carpenter kicked three field goals.

In the same press conference, Ryan was asked what it was like for the Jets to fire him after four straight seasons out of the playoffs and a 4-12 finish last season. LeSean McCoy rushed for 112 yards.

That field goal followed rookie Karlos Williams’ 26-yard TD reception on the first series of the second half. However, that only translated to 17 points on the board – three coming in the first half, and only a pair of touchdowns during what most people would consider garbage time, as they trailed 22-3 by the time they found the end zone for the first time.

Both teams are 5-4 now.

The Bills-Jets game was the first of four this season in which teams will wear one-colour uniforms. The Jets quarterback has 1,983 passing yards this season, and has thrown 15 touchdowns to nine interceptions. They failed once already in the fourth quarter on fourth down. After an eight-yard run by Ivory to the 5-yard-line, Buffalo forced back to back one-yard losses. Thursday night’s National Football League game is drawing criticism for featuring teams in all-red and all-green uniforms, making them virtually indecipherable to fans with red-green colorblindness. It’s easy to act like the biggest swinging dick in the room when you’re a defensive-minded genius taking a mediocre quarterback to the AFC championship game, but much harder to do so when you’re a mediocre coach known for presiding over inconsistent, undisciplined teams. “They put us in the right position to make plays, and that preparation made opportunities for myself and the rest of the guys”, he said. Enemkpali broke Jets quarterback Geno Smith’s jaw with a punch during training camp, was cut and claimed the next day by Buffalo. But Ryan’s defense held.

In between, the two Buffalo touchdowns, NY barely got a chance to do anything on offense. It was the one career guarantee Ryan actually backed up, and the one he really needed to spike into a trash bin the way he spiked his red cap and headset Thursday night after Bacarri Rambo’s interception decided things in the final seconds. He plans to be ready for the Jets’ game at Houston on November 22.

Fitzpatrick called this one of the Jets’ “core” plays.

“I talked to Coach Chudzinski, a guy I’ve got the utmost respect for”, Campbell said.
