National Football League 2015 Season: NY Jets vs Houston Texans, Preview, Prediction

Now it’s officially official: Ryan Fitzpatrick will start for the NY Jets on Sunday. It’s not that he’s vindictive or anything, but the Harvard man with the bushy beard of a Civil War general does admit “being cut or sent away definitely matters to me a little bit”.

“They had their plan of what they wanted to do, and I didn’t happen to be in those plans”.

In what is expected to a close game, here are five players that could make all the difference for their respective teams. “I think he has a lot of good football left in him”.

“I have been on enough teams now that you don’t hold grudges, but it plays into it”, Fitzpatrick said.

He was asked if the season was a failure if his team missed the postseason. The quarterback has been limited since undergoing surgery on his left thumb, but he told the media he is good to go for Sunday and the surgery will not hinder his progress.

“It’s going to take a lot of time, ” he said. Wilkerson is having a solid season, leading the Jets with seven sacks while also likely driving up his price tag. Fitzpatrick is set to become a free agent after the season, leaving the possibility that Smith, who lost his shot at the starting job during training camp after former teammate IK Enemkpali broke his jaw with a locker-room punch, could still throw passes for the Jets next season. They are in the hunt for a wild-card spot with Buffalo and Pittsburgh.

“For me, yes. You want to get to the playoffs every year”, Bowles said, per NY Post. Should, however, the Texans lose this game, at least we can safely cross them off the list as being a potential threat to the Steelers playoff chances later on in the season.

Backup signal caller T.J. Yates filled in for the injured Brian Hoyer in the third quarter and converted one touchdown to lead Houston past the red-hot Bengals. You can’t go back and look.

“It was a thought, but it wasn’t a serious thought”, Bowles said.

“You got to know where he is”, Bowles said Wednesday.

“It’s more painful now than it was before the surgery”, said Fitzpatrick, who will continue to use a protective glove like he did after suffering the injury November 1 against the Oakland Raiders. Regardless, another loss on Sunday should about do it for them, so we’ll root on the Eagles in this early game just to be on the safe side.
