Game Preview: Ryan Fitzpatrick has been around. Brandon Marshall has also traveled quite a bit. The two have combined to play on nine different teams in 10 years and none have earned a postseason berth.
That’s not good. You know what is good? Playing for a New York Jets squad that is on the cusp of playoff glory. Even better? Fitzpatrick and Marshall are a big reason why.
The quarterback and receiver tandem have been the spark behind Gang Green’s offensive success this year as Fitzpatrick has tossed 22 touchdowns and Marshall has caught 10 of them.
Of course, there’s even more reason for the two to be confident after last week’s OT victory over the New York Giants. Fitzpatrick threw for a season-high 390 yards, while Marshall racked up 131 receiving yards and hauled in the game-tying touchdown with 27 seconds left in regulation.
Now, the QB-WR tandem are hoping to stay hot against a Titans team that is desperate for a second-straight victory. Tennessee is feeling some offensive confidence of its, own particularly after Marcus Mariota recorded the league’s longest touchdown run of the season last week.
