Jets Win in Wembley Stadium in London- International Game


Jets fans should definitely be happy with the result of week 4 against the Miami Dolphins. After Gang Green's 24-17 loss against the Eagles they bounce back and beat the Dolphins in a huge divisional game in London, England this Sunday. On the very first play of the opening drive QB Ryan Fitzpatrick (Fitzmagic) unloads a bomb to star receiver Brandon Marshall for 45 yards. 2 plays later, the bull RB Chris Ivory punched in a touchdown after his absence due to injury last week. The Jets without question brought pressure on QB Ryan Tannehill every play causing him to throw two interceptions. The Jets defense stopped the Dolphins to a little to no run game all day. Running back Lamar Miller (Dolphins) only rushed for 26 yards on 7 carries.

Going into the second quarter the Jets lead 10-0. On the Jets first drive in the second quarter the Jets are moving slowly down the field and Eric Decker makes a huge 26 yard 1 handed grab in the middle of 3 Miami defenders for a first down. The drive turns out to be a Jets field goal. The next Dolphins drive early in the third quarter results in a Kenny Stills touchdown to make the score 13-7. The next Jets drive late in the third quarter results in a 3rd and two on about the fifty yard line. Fitzpatrick takes the snap from the shotgun formation and has no targets up field, he then shakes off a sack, sees an opening and takes off for a huge 19 yard gain and he moves the chains. For fellow Jets fans this is huge news. I officially feel we have our starting Quarterback for the next year or two. Fitzpatrick has the right weapons around him and a solid offensive line to protect him. Fitzpatrick later on proves that he's a mobile quarterback once again with a 15 yard pick up later in the game. Who needs Geno Smith when you have better accuracy, decision making skills, and legs in Ryan Fitzpatrick. Later on in the drive he throws a 16 yard touchdown strike to Eric Decker to increase the Jet lead to 20-7.

The Jets score again late in the third quarter after a Zack Stacy touchdown run. Other notable plays were David Harris veteran linebacker, with two sacks on Tannehill on the day. Great pressure on the QB by our linebackers Sunday. Top story for the Jets Sunday Chris Ivory, our man is back he had 166 yards on 29 carries and a touchdown. Brandon Marshall proved that once again he is our guy at the wide receiver position. It was Marshall's 4th straight game with over 100 receiving yards, he had 7 receptions for 128 yards. Brandon Marshall is a huge leader for this Jets team this year and bounced back from a bad game last week where he decided to turn over the ball on a stupid lateral play. It was a little scary watching our top tier defense go down in some injuries but none were too serious as veteran David Harrison went down with a finger injury but he is expected to play next week and star rookie defensive end Leonard Williams went down on a play but he is listed as playing next week also. Star cornerback Darrelle Revis also went down on a hamstring injury which scared many Jets fans Sunday but he too will be expected to play next week. Corner back Buster Skrine out of Tennessee-Chatanooga, you don't hear that college a lot, filled in nicely this Sunday making huge tackles he will be great for this Jets smash mouth defense this year. I love this guy. Corner back Marcus Williams also impacted the game hugely when he entered the game. He records a huge interception off of Ryan Tannehill during this game.

The Jets are up 27-14 late in the 4th quarter as the Dolphins are on their ten yard line. Ryan Tannehill throws a 12 yard pass to WR Jarvis Landry for a touch down which is later called back for an illegal screen. Dolphins are still in Jets territory. Jets front line and linebackers bring in huge pressure on Tannehill causing him to go 3 and out. Dolphins are forced to go for it on 4th down until the ball is picked off by Darelle Revis due to pressure on the QB by the Jets defensive front. Darelle revis then does an awesome celebration where he hits "the whip" and the "nae nae". He later on quotes in a press conference that he learned those moves from his kids and they said he needed to do it after an interception. He says his teammates get a kick out of it every time. Jets end up winning this game 27-14 and next week they will have their bye week. Gang Green's next game will be October 18th, the day after my birthday where they will face the Washington Redskins (sorry Mrs. Manatos). My prediction of this game is nothing less than a Gang Green shutout. I bet the Jets beat the Skins 28-0. I just don't see Kirk Cousins scoring on our defense. See you October 18th Jets fans!
