REPORT CARD

OFFENSE

After a slow start, Chan

Gailey’s crew really clicked. The offense rolled up 333 yards and had just one turnover. The unit was able to convert turnovers into 21 points, something that has been a problem in the past. QB Ryan

Fitzpatrick (15-of-24, 179 yards, two touchdowns, one interception, 95.7 rating) did enough to lead the Jets to the win. WR Brandon Marshall (six receptions, 62 yards, one touchdown, one forced fumble) made a huge impact in his first game as a Jet. RB

Chris Ivory (20 rushes, 91 yards, two touchdowns) looks primed for a big year.

DEFENSE

Cleveland put together an impressive opening drive that ended when Calvin Pryor and Demario Davis drilled quarterback Josh McCown at the goal line, forcing a fumble and sending McCown to the locker room. The defense had four of the Jets’ five takeaways, a welcome sign after 2014 when turnovers were rare. The unit limited Johnny Manziel outside of the 54-yard touchdown pass and a few scrambles.

B+

SPECIAL TEAMS

It was a quiet day for this unit. Jeremy Kerley returned two punts for 13 yards and

Kellen Davis had a kick return for 13 yards. Nick Folk made a 33-yard field goal and punter Ryan Quigley averaged 43.7 yards on three punts. Nothing good, nothing bad from this unit. Just a quiet day.

C

COACHING

Todd Bowles got his first win as Jets coach in decisive fashion. Bowles and defensive coordinator Kacy

Rodgers get credit for making the adjustments to slow the Browns’ offense down after a fast start. Offensive coordinator Chan

Gailey called a strong

game.
