2016 NFL Power Rankings Week 9: Los Angeles Rams Look to Bounce Back Following Bye Week

26. New York Jets 3-5 (27)
It’s a shame the New York Jets don’t play in the AFC North after two straight wins against the Baltimore Ravens and Cleveland Browns. Even if these wins did come against teams with losing records, the Jets will take anything they can get at this point when looking at their disappointing start to the season.
After trailing by 13 at halftime, New York found a way to rally thanks to a strong performance by Quincy Enunwa after the wide receiver finished with four catches for 93 yards with a touchdown. The Jets knew losing Eric Decker for the season was a huge loss in the passing game, but Enunwa is turning out to be a solid No. 2 wide receiver playing alongside Brandon Marshall.
Plus, the two rushing touchdowns recorded by Matt Forte ended up being big in the comeback win for the Jets.
When looking at how much the quarterback has struggled this season, any game Ryan Fitzpatrick doesn’t record a turnover should be seen as a huge accomplishment. Now, the true test becomes whether Fitzpatrick can avoid turnovers moving forward and help New York feel better about all of the money being spent on their quarterback this season.
