The Jets suffer a tough loss week 11 to the Houston Texans. This loss could potentially ruin our chances to grab the AFC wild card and make the playoffs. The Jets started off the game playing pretty well not letting up a touchdown after the Texans drove the ball all the way down to the Jets 10 yard line on the very first drive. The Jets answered back with a field goal of their own. On the very next Texans drive QB TJ Yates unloaded a 50 yard bomb to Deandre Hopkins for a touchdown. Star CB for the Jets Darrelle Revis was the player who Hopkins burned for a TD on the play. The Texans go up 10-3 heading into the third quarter. On the Jets opening drive in the third quarter, they put up an impressive drive ending with a 25 yard strike to Brandon Marshall for a touchdown. The score is now 10-10. On the following Texans drive they drive down the field and end up with a touchdown on a trick play. QB Tj Yates hiked the ball and threw a screen pass to WR Cecil Shorts who then found RB Alfred Blue down the field for a touchdown. The Texans go up 17-10 on a very impressive drive. The Texans notorious defense led by DE JJ Watt stopped the Jets on their following drive and came up with a scoring drive of their own ending with another touchdown pass to WR Deandre Hopkins. It is now 24-10 Texans heading into the 4th quarter. The Texans stop the Jets to a 4th and 1 where the Jets are forced to go for it. QB Ryan Fitzpatrick sneaks past the center for a first down to keep the drive going. It is now 1st and goal and Ryan Fitzpatrick can't find any options to go to so he decides to take off for the end zone. There are two Texan defenders in front of him and he tucks and runs one over and takes a big hit for a touchdown. Little did we know Ryan Fitzpatrick suffered a concussion on this play but they kept him in anyway. The Jets defense made a big stop and gave their offense a chance to take over and try to tie the football game up with a touchdown but they had to do this with 2 minutes left on the clock. After a five yard penalty, the Jets take over on 1st and 15. Ryan Fitzpatrick looks over the middle for Brandon Marshall but it is picked off by a Texans defender. I believe this interception was due to Fitzpatrick's concussion which he suffered on his touch down run. The Jets are now looking between backup QB Geno Smith or third string QB and rookie Bryce Petty for Fitz's replacement. As a Jets fan we DO NOT want to see Geno Smith starting next week against division rival Miami Dolphins.
