Fitzpatrick, Ivory lead Jets to 28-23 victory over Jaguars
Fitzpatrick, who was knocked out of last week’s game when he tore a ligament in his left hand, started and performed well. At times, the Jets looked like a team destined for the playoffs.
“[It] just didn’t respond the way I would have hoped, the way we would have hoped”, he said. This game will be special for Marrone, a native New Yorker and a former Jets assistant. Nonetheless, Myers kicked the field goal to pull within one, 14-13.
T.J. Yeldon had a tough time in the early going but his 45-yard run in the second half was absolutely fantastic.
A veteran who has played 179 career games and a 23-year-old newcomer who has played seven. “But it’s the plays you missed out on that you think about at night – the ones you didn’t make when you had a chance to make it and hopefully put up more points”. Thus far he’s been cleared to play but it’s no guarantee he finishes the contest. Marshall’s muff in the fourth quarter was a crusher. The Jaguars may just be moving from hoping Bortles might turn into a franchise quarterback into believing he will turn into one. C Nick Mangold will return to the starting lineup after sitting out last week’s game at Oakland with the neck injury he suffered late in the New England game. They managed 29 yards on 28 carries. When the Jaguars got the ball with 54 seconds left, it was Williams who again picked off Blake Bortles to put the win in the bank.
Raiders running back Latavius Murray left the game Sunday against the Pittsburgh Steelers in the third quarter after taking a big hit from Steelers safety Mike Mitchell.
Jacksonville enters play with a 2-5 record and is 3-4 against the spread, while New York is now 4-3 straight up and 4-2 at the betting window after failing to cover as a 3-point road favorite last Sunday in Oakland. After an exchange of punts the Jaguars drove the ball down the field but got a bad break on a catch by Bryan Walters that was called an incompletion. We always talk in terms of hope and encouragement with our guys. “I know I can play, and play at a high level”.

The Jacksonville Jaguars have something to play for in November.
They almost gave it away, the Jets sometimes looking like they might bumble their way to a third straight loss, but instead they did just enough in a 28-23 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars. The Jets went three-and-out after Bortles’ fumble, but cornerback Nick Marshall fumbled the subsequent punt and tight end Kellen Davis recovered.
STUFFED UP: After an impressive start to the season, Ivory has been shut down in his last three games.
The Jets will look to bounce back from back-to-back losses when they host the Jaguars at 1:00PM ET today. Hurns had five catches, including a 30-yard touchdown grab in the final minute of the first half. Marshall leads the Jets with 50 catches for 686 yards. If New York doesn’t activate Milliner by Tuesday, he’ll transfer over to the season-ending injured reserve list. This is the first time Gerhart has been a healthy inactive while with the Jaguars.
Ivory, who also had three receptions for 22 yards, stepped up when it mattered most, contributing two separate one-yard scoring runs.
