The Jets are trying to send Rex Ryan out of town a winner, which is bad for a draft positioning but good for pride.
When a team knows regime changes loom and a coach is on his way out the door, often in the final game, they fold up shop until the next year and call it a season. The New York Jets are giving it their all on the road against the Miami Dolphins trying to give their head coach Rex Ryan a victory before he is let go as coach of the team.
Playing against divisional and much loathed foe, the Dolphins, the Jets love beating Miami just as much as any other team in this league. Towards the end of the first quarter, Jets receiver Chris Owusu received the hand off on a reverse and hit the outside lanes in a hurry and raced his way past several Dolphins defenders for a 23-yard sprint into the end zone to put the Jets ahead of the Dolphins 7 – 3.
The Jets are showing that they aren’t just going to go quietly into the offseason, they want to win this one for Rex Ryan. Maybe they should have tried this hard a little earlier in the season, but let’s not get into semantics here — the Jets are playing actual football and that’s all that matters.
