Ryan Fitzpatrick Wins AFC Offensive Player Of The Week

(East Rutherford, NJ) – The Tennessee Titans lost badly to the New York Jets on Sunday 30 to 8.

Quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick is having a career season, Brandon Marshall is putting up what could end up being the most dominant receiving numbers in franchise history and the Jets (8-5) are ranked No. 9 in overall offense. Fitzpatrick has been almost flawless over the last three weeks posting 930 yards passing, 66 yards rushing, and nine touchdowns to no interceptions.

The Jets have defied the forecasters this season with an 8-5 record and a good shot at the AFC playoffs. Andrews who was running the wildcat at the time completed a 41 yard touchdown pass to Marcus Mariota.

Despite a huge question mark at the quarterback position and a new head coach in Todd Bowles, the Jets have managed to put some wins together and are well-positioned for a wild card bid with four games to go in the season. Nothing was working and seemingly every play was a max-protect, play action pass. Now that is fine, but it definitely loses some teeth when the Titans can’t get anything going on the ground. “We’re not that good”. We just saw one earlier Tuesday with Derek Carr dropping some cash to buy 55-inch TVs for the Raiders O-line, for example.

-PASS DEFENSE: A-minus. The Titans accounted for 315 yards and one touchdown through the air, but 239 of those yards and their lone score came in the second half after the Jets raced out to a 27-0 lead. He had six catches for 125 yards and a touchdown.

For the first time since 2011 the Jets have won three games in a row.

“We have to take care of our business”, wide receiver Eric Decker said, “and that’s all that we can control”.

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 finished 21 of 39 for 274 yards and an interception for the Titans, who were looking to win consecutive games for the first time since the end of the 2013 season. Chris Ivory had 101 of those yards (his first 100-yard game since week 6) and Powell chipped in 36 yards on only three carries. “There are salary-cap issues and things involved in what we can and can”™t do,”™”™ Bowles said. Pryor made up for his mistake by catching WR Harry Douglas from behind on a 51-yard gain in which Douglas broke free after Skrine and CB Antonio Cromartie collided on a pick play.

Does Brandon Marshall think Ryan Fitzpatrick has exceeded expectations as the Jets’ quarterback this season?

“There was no communication to upstairs or the linebackers”, Mularkey said. Revis will play aggressive against the rookie quarterback and try to trick him into some turnovers.

One of the main objectives Bowles and his staff have set for themselves this season is to get this team to play up to their potential for 60 minutes. The Titans had a first down at the Jets’ 34, but were unable to move the ball, mostly thanks to sacks by Leonard Williams and Muhammad Wilkerson.
