Boise State Legend Kellen Moore Finally Gets His NFL Shot

That they won anyway indicates they are pretty good after all. “We’re on our way to becoming one of those type of teams if we can keep it up”.

The Jets’ fourth straight win saw them improve to 9-5. NY are one-half game up in the AFC wild-card standings over Kansas City and Pittsburgh, which are both 8-5 and play on Sunday.

Jets kicker Randy Bullock atoned for a missed extra point and field goal by nailing a 40-yard field-goal with 36 seconds remaining for the win.

Thompkins, who had advised Fitzpatrick to be on the lookout for him when Dallas was in a cover-2 defense, said, “I’m just honored to be in the locker room with these guys”.

But Garrett has inherited somewhat of a dynasty in the Dallas Cowboys, one expected to perform well enough to make a repeat appearance in the playoffs.

Overall, Fitzpatrick performed decently, going 26-for-39 for 299 yards with a touchdown and an interception. A series of runs set up Bullock’s game-deciding kick. “There’s going to be adversity throughout the game and I thought that was a great sign for us to show that the belief is always there”.

“We can’t hang from the rafters right now because of a little winning streak, ” receiver Brandon Marshall said. They scored two plays later on a three-yard touchdown pass to Eric Decker.

The Jets have New England and Buffalo left, and need some help.

“We have to clean up a lot of things before we get to them”, Bowles said.

It was on the final two drives that Fitzpatrick threw the Jets offense on his back and carried them to a pair of scores for the victory. The offense couldn’t get it going consistently for three quarters of this game.

Instead of aiming for Santa Clara, California, and Super Bowl 50, Jones and Co. now have plenty of opportunity to ponder how the 2015 season was a total disaster.

“We all start with aspirations”, said Cowboys coach Jason Garrett.

You can only beat the teams in front of you, the teams on your schedule, and style points do not determine who gets to go to the playoffs.

Moore threw three picks in Saturday’s loss to the New York Jets, but moved the ball better than Cassel.

The Jets are doing what winners do: Find a way to take care of business no matter the aesthetics.

Even with the good news came bad.

“They had man coverage”, Decker said, “and we expected a footrace to the [front] left pylon, and we made it happen”.

Saturday night at home in Dallas facing the Jets, Moore was thrust into action early in the game when Cowboy starter Matt Cassel proved ineffective.

Fitzpatrick threw his first interception since November 22 to give the Cowboys a field goal and a 13-9 lead in the third quarter, but came back to direct a 70-yard drive to Decker’s score. He sported a small gash between his eyes, a souvenir of a first-half scramble.

Dallas added another Dan Bailey to take a 13 to 9 lead. The final INT coming on a hail mary attempt in the final minute of the game that ended in a 19-16 defeat for the Cowboys. The Patriots defeated the Jets 30-23 in their last meeting, which was held at Gillette Stadium in Foxboro. He carried the ball 16 times for 100 yards and it was also his fifth 100 yard rushing game of the season.
