EAST RUTHERFORD, NJ – If one word could describe Sunday afternoon at MetLife Stadium, it would be: sloppy. There were bad snaps, missed field goals, slick fumbles, head-scratching penalties, rain and a whole lot of wind. The elements plus the events that transpired on the field proved to be the backbreaker for the New York…
East Rutherford, NJ – Week 8 of the NFL season pits the New York Jets against the defending NFC champions Atlanta Falcons.

After having held Jay Ajayi in check again and actually getting pressure on the quarterback the Jets found themselves up 14 points, then they immediately started to unravel. After having such a successful day offensively the Jets got conservative, of course the false start penalties didn’t help there, and Matt Moore wisely decided to pick…

Bilal Powell and Muhammad Wilkerson will play for the New York Jets Sunday, October 22, against the Miami Dolphins. Powell sat out with an injury since Week 5 against the Cleveland Browns and Wilkerson didn’t practice all week.

Miami Gardens, FL: Nearly one month ago, the Jets opened their home slate at 0-2 with a bruised ego against the Miami Dolphins. Their opponent that September afternoon was picked by some to repeat their success of a season ago and beat New York down in all facets. That wasn’t the case. The Jets dominated and…
