🔮 If the names and numbers were stripped from the back of every Blueshirt, it would’ve been easy to believe that Igor Shesterkin still stood between the pipes.
🔮 The next chance comes Thursday in Toronto, where the Rangers will attempt to improve upon their 1-3-1 road record this season.
🔮 Against the winless Dolphins, the final two minutes might not matter.
🔮 Aaron Glenn claims he wasn’t confused — but we were. Trailing 17-3 at halftime of Sunday’s loss at New England, the Jets head coach went to the locker room looking worse than his team after an interview with CBS sideline reporter Aditi Kinkhabwala in which Glenn appeared to mistakenly state that his offense would start the second half with the ball.
🔮 But who will John Harbaugh task with keeping them there?
🔮 But offensive coordinator Frank Reich will remember Smith’s performance for his “creative thinking” in the final minutes, when he set up Braelon Allen for a 22-yard game-winning touchdown run on third-and-9.
🔮 “If you’re not making kicks, they’re gonna try and find someone that will.”
🔮 In April, David Bailey could only imagine one thing better than being taken with the No. 2 overall pick in the NFL Draft.
🔮 Iowa (+3.5) over WASHINGTON Huskies quarterback Demond Williams Jr. looks less confident every week, leading a team that is 0-3 against the spread as a favorite and an offense that has averaged 21.3 points against power conference opponents.
🔮 As expected, the Jets’ 25th-ranked offense will have to try and break the team’s three-game losing streak without starting running back Breece Hall (quad) and No. 2 wide receiver Adonai Mitchell (finger) in Sunday’s game against the Browns.
