Newest From the NFL: Brees Has Big 1st Half Despite Injury

How do you feel about Bill Belichick giving the jets the ball to start overtime knowing that.

While the Patriots’ ill-fated decision to defer in overtime will draw much of the attention, the real story should be the Jets, who have won five straight and have a legitimate passing game seemingly for the first time since Joe Namath was throwing deep to Don Maynard in the 1960s. Belichick has done it three times during that span, beating San Diego that way in 2001 and Denver in 2013.

Even if they don’t reach the playoffs, the Jets might already have done enough in 2015 to render this season a success under their two new leaders, general manager Mike Maccagnan and head coach Todd Bowles.

On the defensive side of the football, it’s safe to say that the Jets once again proved to be among the league’s best, especially going up against the team that many consider will be repeat Super Bowl champs this year.

Quarterback Kellen Moore could not spark the Cowboys (4-11), completing 13 of 31 passes for 186 yards and an interception.

Marshall set the mark with an 18-yard catch late in the third quarter against the New England Patriots. The jets marched down the field and because it was not a field goal with a touchdown the game ended right there.

The Jets employed a running-back-by-committee strategy that was remarkably effective against the Patriots.

“I don’t think anybody’s feeling sorry for us. We just didn’t come away with it”. This was the most significant Jets win over the Patriots in five years.

Carolina (14-1) got the ball with 90 seconds left and no timeouts remaining.

It’s been an ongoing problem, adding to a long laundry list of players who have been injured this season, and Brady admitted that it’s been hard to deal with, but they can’t use that as an excuse. “[I’m] excited that that’s kind of figured out at this point and that we do control our own destiny, but we do have to take care of business”.

This was a odd loss for the Patriots, and no one on that team likes losing to the Jets.

-WR Brandon Marshall made history twice on Sunday, when he had eight catches for 115 yards and two touchdowns in the Jets’ 26-20 overtime win over the New England Patriots.

Neither has been to the playoffs in a combined 21 pro seasons.

But this wasn’t that devastating a loss for the Patriots. They’ll go into the game needing a win to guarantee themselves the top seed in the AFC.

The Patriots tied the game at 20 when Tom Brady threw a 9-yard TD pass to James White with 1:55 left in the fourth quarter.

Gronkowski had a couple of huge catches – both fourth-down conversions, in fact, including a 26-yarder on fourth and 9. Washington won’t wow anyone with strength of schedule but like it or not, this team is locked in here and will host a wild-card playoff game come January.

There was made by the head coach he actually went back to bill and he said he checked with him three or four times are you sure this what you wanted to in this situation boasted yes. “A lot of guys have been in and out of the lineup, a lot of guys coming in off the street trying to play and help us win”. Slater said kick. Then the official asked us which way to receive. “I think guys looked in the mirror and said we’re either going to get better or we’re going to be home in January”.

Alex Smith threw two touchdown passes for Kansas City, and the game clock finally stopped Johnny Manziel as the Chiefs won a team record-tying ninth consecutive game.

But for most of the game, the Patriots appeared overwhelmed.

Fitzpatrick began the drive with a 25-yard pass to a wide-open Decker to the Jets’ 34. Their most active skill player was someone who was only supposed to play special teams this year – Bolden, who had 14 touches for 60 yards.

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Matt Hasselbeck has left the game because of an injury for the fourth week in a row, and has been ruled out for the rest of the game with a shoulder injury. Thanks for letting us get the ball first.

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. – Running back Frank Gore scored two touchdowns and Indianapolis kept its playoff hopes alive by defeating Miami. And Edelman and Amendola should hopefully return for the postseason.
