REPORT CARD
OFFENSE
The Jets rolled up 474 yards of total offense and got huge performances from Chris Ivory, Brandon Marshall and Eric Decker again. This grade gets dragged down by the three first-half turnovers. QB Ryan Fitzpatrick (19 of 26, 253 yards, 2 TDs, 1 INT, 31 yards rushing, 1 TD) had a really strong game other than the interception. Marshall (7 catches, 111 yards, 1 TD) was a monster, making several great catches. Ivory (20 rushes, 146 yards, 1 TD) continues to roll.
B+
DEFENSE
The Redskins scored 13 points after Jets turnovers and their final touchdown on a blocked punt. If not for those mistakes, the Jets might have pitched a shutout. Darrelle
Revis turned the game around with his third-quarter pick. The front line of Muhammad Wilkerson, Sheldon Richardson, Damon Harrison and Leonard Williams, along with linebackers David Harris and Demario Davis, held the Redskins to 34 yards rushing.

SPECIAL TEAMS
This unit was a mess. The blocked punt was the biggest mistake. Fortunately for the Jets, it came late in the game when the score was already out of reach. Nick Folk went 2-for-3 on field goals. Jeremy
Kerley had one 22-yard return, but fair catches on his other returns.

COACHING
Give Todd Bowles a ton of credit for reaching his team at halftime and waking his players up. He gets marked down for the team’s first-half performance, but his halftime speech must have been a doozy. Bowles and defensive coordinator
Kacy Rodgers did a nice job designing a 4-3 attack against Washington’s strong run game. Offensive coordinator
Chan Gailey called a nice game with some tendency-breaking screen passes.
