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.

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.
