Fitzpatrick, Jets in playoff position as they visit Cowboys

The Jets have already doubled their win total from last season, and an 8-5 record has them in the playoff picture.

The Jets trail Dallas all-time, 7-3, but they’ve split the last six since 1990 and won the most recent meeting, an inspiring Sunday night 27-24 comeback on September 11, 2011, at two-year-old, newly renamed MetLife Stadium. The Jets also have one of the better defenses in the league that should manage Cassel and company, an offense that has done nothing all season long.

Coming off a very solid 2014 performance, this unit was expected to be the strength of the Cowboys, and they have not disappointed. Now, they need to be even better. If you have not seen La’el’s latest work of art, you will see it Saturday during the game, guaranteed. McFadden is 202 yards shy of reaching that feat with three games left.

This is Jason Garrett’s way of backing his message: The season is not yet lost, despite the guarantee of his first losing record as coach, and a two-game deficit in the NFC East with three games remaining. After all, this offense has been one of the most surprising groups in the entire league.

Because of that elite offensive line, the Cowboys have had some success running the football as well. They’re also jut 2-2-1 (-2.4) at the betting window as a road team this season. Early in the season, they battled numerous injuries to some star players and it certainly did not help them start their season off strong, according to ESPN.

“That’s why we play”, quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick said of the postseason, adding, “But the way we’re going to have to do it right now is continue to maintain our focus on each week”. “We expect him to be at 100 percent, and we expect to play the best Dez Bryant we know we’re going to see”. That means Cassel has to make it a point to get the ball to Dez Bryant early and often. On the other hand, if we put an extra pair of eyes on Dez, Jason Witten has the ability to get open against safeties and linebackers in the middle of the field. Let us know in the comment box below! The play of the Jets secondary will definitely be one of the key factors in the deciding outcome on Saturday.

The NFL’s worst team on third-and-1 had another failure in that situation, and went 1 of 11 on third down overall. All-pro QB Tony Romo was out for an extended amount of time to a broken collarbone before returning and re-breaking his collarbone against the Panthers on Thanksgiving.

Fitzpatrick, who has 19 red zone touchdown passes to his name without being sacked or giving away possession through an interception, has said, “It’s great”. Dallas CBs don’t have an interception this season.

We can only assume LeBron, a Cowboys fan, will be hoping Bryant doesn’t take the comparison lightly. Pittsburgh and Kansas City are each hot and tied with the Jets, so the Jets need a win just to keep pace.
