New York Jets

Fireman Ed is hanging up his helmet.

Rex Ryan is embarrassed yet defiant after the New York Jets collapsed against the New England Patriots.

Mark Sanchez directed a turnover-free offense and Bilal Powell ran for the first two touchdowns of his career, helping the Jets end a three-game losing streak with a 27-13 victory over the St. Louis Rams on Sunday.

Despite being mired in one of the worst slumps of his four-year career, Mark Sanchez still has a firm hold on the New York Jets' starting quarterback job.

Jets owner Woody Johnson is disappointed by his team's performance, saying he "didn't sign up for a 3-6 season," and insists he didn't bring in Tim Tebow just to sell tickets.

An angry Rex Ryan addressed his Jets players for some anonymous quotes ripping Tim Tebow in a newspaper report, calling the comments "a cowardly thing."

Linebacker Aaron Maybin has been waived by the New York Jets, a season after he led the team with six sacks.

Russell Wilson threw touchdowns of 38 yards to Golden Tate and 31 yards to Sidney Rice, and the Seattle Seahawks sent the New York Jets to their worst start since 2007 with a 28-7 win on Sunday.

At 3-5 and with a difficult schedule ahead, the New York Jets look like long shots for a third playoff berth in Rex Ryan's four seasons as coach. Ryan is embracing that challenge, and believes he has the team to make a strong run in the second half of the schedule.

Matt Moore stepped in for an injured Ryan Tannehill and the Miami Dolphins didn't miss a beat, rolling past the Jets 30-9 for their third straight victory.
