The Jets (3-1) gained 425 yards of total offense, including a career-high 166 for running back Chris Ivory, in a win over the Miami Dolphins on Sunday at Wembley Stadium. But as much as the offensive yardage helped, it was the 163 yards given up on 14 penalties that kept the Dolphins (1-3) in the game. "We play aggressive, so some of that's going to happen," Jets linebacker Calvin Pace said. "But we know we've got to clean up our play." Ryan Fitzpatrick started things for the Jets by completing a 58-yard pass to Brandon Marshall on the team's first play from scrimmage. Ivory then ran for 12 yards and scored from the 3 on the next two plays as the offensive line neutralized Dolphins tackle Ndamukong Suh all day. Ivory kept getting the ball, and kept running effectively, carrying 29 times for an average of 5.7 yards per run. "When the back is going good, you keep feeding him," Jets coach Todd Bowles said. Fitzpatrick ended up with 218 yards passing, one touchdown and one interception in the first division game played in London, and the first of three regular-season games to be played this year at Wembley. Suh, the highest-paid defensive player in league history, had only three tackles. His first didn't come until the third quarter. "It wasn't easy, man, that's a good defense," Jets right tackle Breno Giacomini said. "Suh, (Cameron) Wake, their whole defense, they gave us a good fight, and (it) felt good to get a win from them." Both teams have byes next week, as usual for teams playing in London. But Miami, which has now lost three straight, will face lots of questions about its poor performances thus far. 2 P a g e

3 When they return to the field on Oct. 18, the Dolphins will play at Tennessee; the Jets will host the Washington Redskins. Dolphins coach Joe Philbin said he wasn't worried about his job. "Not at all," Philbin said. "I'm worried about getting our team fixed and straightened out and ready to play the Tennessee Titans. We have 14 days." The hard-running Ivory scored the first touchdown from 3 yards to start off his ninth career 100-yard game. Fitzpatrick later completed a 10-yard TD pass to Eric Decker in the second quarter and Zac Stacy rushed in from the 2 in the third. Nick Folk converted all three extra points and added field goals from 22 and 48 yards. But he missed a 40- yard attempt. The Jets ended up with 207 yards rushing, including 34 from Fitzpatrick. Ivory's 166 yards were the most by a Jet since Thomas Jones ran for 210 in Besides controlling Suh, the Jets got some help when Dolphins cornerback Brent Grimes went out with a right knee injury in the first quarter. The Jets gave the Dolphins some hope, though, with all those penalties. And Miami's first score, in the second quarter, came with plenty of aid from New York's secondary. Ryan Tannehill threw deep to Jarvis Landry, and Darrelle Revis was called for a 36-yard pass interference. On the next play, Tannehill threw to Jordan Cameron, but Marcus Gilchrist was whistled for another pass interference, good for 22 yards. Tannehill found Jake Stoneburner on the next play for 8 yards make the score Tannehill ended up with 198 yards and two touchdowns on 19 of 44 passing. His second score was a 10- yard pass to Kenny Stills in the fourth quarter. But the Dolphins failed to come up with the big play, going 0 for 12 on third downs and 0 for 4 on fourth downs. "We've got to find a way to make plays. As ugly as it may have seemed, at the end of the day we had opportunities to win that game," Philbin said. "We can't panic. It can seem like the walls are closing in on you." It was the 12th regular-season NFL game at Wembley Stadium, the home of England's national soccer team. Later this season, Buffalo will take on Jacksonville on Oct. 25, and Detroit will face Kansas City on Nov. 1. It was the first time the Jets played in the NFL's International Series, the third time for the Dolphins. They lost the first game in 2007, to the New York Giants. Last year, the Dolphins beat the Oakland Raiders NOTES: Miami greats Bob Griese and Dan Marino were the honorary captains for the Dolphins, Curtis Martin and Wayne Chrebet represented the Jets....

Jets' Richardson completes suspension, due back in court (Jim Suhr) Associated Press October 5, P a g e

4 ST. LOUIS (AP) Just as New York Jets defensive lineman Sheldon Richardson gets to return to the field after a drug suspension, he'll also see his legal troubles reappear in court. The former University of Missouri star is scheduled for a court appearance Monday in St. Charles County just west of St. Louis, where the Pro Bowler is charged with five misdemeanor counts that include resisting arrest. He has pleaded not guilty to all of them. The 24-year-old was arrested July 14 after a chase that began on Interstate 64, where police say he was driving his 2014 Bentley Silver Spur at speeds up to 143 mph with a 12-year-old relative and two other men inside the car. Police said Richardson, who lives in the St. Louis suburb of O'Fallon in the offseason, appeared to be racing with another car. Police say they found a loaded handgun under a floor mat, and a probable cause statement said officers detected a "very strong odor of burned marijuana." No gun charges were filed because Richardson legally owned the weapon, and prosecutors declined to pursue drug possession or child endangerment counts, citing insufficient evidence. A conviction for resisting arrest is punishable by up to one year in jail and a fine of up to $1,000, though Richardson expressed confidence in August that he won't face jail time "I really don't think it'll go that far, but we'll see." It was unclear whether Richardson planned to attend the hearing; he did not appear for an arraignment Aug. 31, when his attorney, Scott Rosenblum, entered the plea. Messages seeking comment were left by The Associated Press with Rosenblum in recent days. Richardson completed a four-game suspension Sunday for violating the NFL's substance abuse policy, namely for using marijuana. That suspension came 12 days before his arrest, which carries a possibility of more discipline because it violates the personal conduct policy. "We are monitoring developments in the case," NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy said Friday. Jets coach Todd Bowles said he has "not yet" received any word from the league about the prospect of additional discipline. The Jets said last week they expected Richardson to be eligible to return to practice Monday and play Oct. 18 against Washington. Richardson was the 13th overall pick in 2013 and was named Defensive Rookie of the Year that season. He played in the Pro Bowl last season. He apologized to the organization and his teammates after the news of his arrest came out, something he withheld from even his parents until reports surfaced on July 30, early in training camp. Jets take care of Suh, beat Dolphins in London (Chris Lehourites) Associated Press October 5, LONDON (AP) The New York Jets flew to London knowing that the key to victory was neutralizing Ndamukong Suh. And they were right. 4 P a g e

5 The Jets (3-1) beat the Miami Dolphins Sunday in the first game at Wembley Stadium to feature division rivals, racking up 425 yards of total offense while allowing Suh only three tackles. "It wasn't easy, man, that's a good defense," Jets right tackle Breno Giacomini said. "Suh, (Cameron) Wake, their whole defense, they gave us a good fight, and (it) felt good to get a win from them." Chris Ivory led the way for the Jets with a career-high 166 yards rushing and one touchdown, while Ryan Fitzpatrick ended up with 218 yards passing, one touchdown and one interception. For the Dolphins (1-3), it was their third straight loss and put coach Joe Philbin's job on the line. Both teams have byes next week, as usual for teams playing in London. When they return to the field on Oct. 18, the Dolphins will play at Tennessee; the Jets will host the Washington Redskins. Here are some more things to know: PENALTIES: As good as the Jets played on offense, it was defensive penalties that allowed the Dolphins to make a game of it. The Jets gave away 163 yards on 14 penalties, including back-to-back pass interference calls that gifted the Dolphins 58 yards and set up Ryan Tannehill's first of two touchdown passes. "We practically gave them seven points with two penalties," Jets coach Todd Bowles said. "We can't have the penalties... and beat a lot teams in this league. We were fortunate today." PHILBIN'S JOB: After Miami's third straight loss, Philbin and his staff are in danger of losing their jobs. He doesn't seem to be too worried, though. "I'm worried about getting this team straightened out, fixed, and getting our team ready to play the Tennessee Titans," said Philbin, who added he spoke to owner Stephen Ross after the game. "It went well," Philbin said. "We always talk. We talk during the week all the time, every week." HOME-FIELD CURSE: The Dolphins have now played regular-season games in London three times, and they are 1-2 with their only win coming when they were the designated "away" team. In 2007, the Dolphins were the "home" team when they lost to the New York Giants in the first game at Wembley Stadium. They beat the "host" Oakland Raiders last year. Against the Jets, the Dolphins were again the "home" team. LONDON GAMES: One down, two more to go. Besides the Jets and Dolphins, there are two more games scheduled to be played this year at Wembley, the home of England's national soccer team. Buffalo will take on Jacksonville on Oct. 25, and Detroit will face Kansas City on Nov. 1. Both the Dolphins and Lions won in London last year, while the Jaguars lost at Wembley for the second straight season. NEWSDAY Jets' Grades (Kimberley A. Martin) Newsday 5 P a g e

6 OFFENSE B+ Chris Ivory is a beast in the backfield. The Jets' offense goes as he goes, and Sunday's beatdown of the Dolphins was yet another example. After missing last week's game with a quadriceps injury, Ivory set a career high in rushing yards (166 on 29 carries) and scored a touchdown. Brandon Marshall provided a big-time play from the start, hauling in a 58-yard pass from Ryan Fitzpatrick on the Jets' first play from scrimmage, en route to 128 receiving yards. Eric Decker, who did not play last week because of a knee injury, had four catches for 46 yards. Fitzpatrick (16-for-29 for 218 yards, one TD, one INT) made plays when he needed to, but a lot of his throws were off target. DEFENSE A- The unit gave up seven points when back-to-back pass-interference calls on Darrelle Revis and Marcus Gilchrist resulted in a Miami score. But other than that, the defense impressed. The Dolphins were 0-for- 12 on third down and 0-for-4 on fourth. Muhammad Wilkerson (two sacks for a loss of 21 yards) and David Harris (sack) played well, plus Revis and Marcus Williams picked off Tannehill late in the fourth to kill the Dolphins' comeback attempt. SPECIAL TEAMS C- Nick Folk missed a field goal from 40 yards out. Ryan Quigley averaged 29 yards per punt, which the Dolphins used to good advantage. In the fourth, Jarvis Landry returned one 28 yards to the Jets' 37, which helped set up a Miami score. Meanwhile, the Jets still haven't found an answer to their return-game woes. COACHING A Give Todd Bowles credit. Not only did the Jets' logistical plans for London work to a T -- i.e., flying out Thursday night and getting players acclimated quickly with the help of a sleep therapist and imported American toilet paper -- Bowles and his staff also executed a brilliant game plan against the Dolphins. It was aggressive, yet simple: lots of Ivory and a heavy dose of blitzing. As a result, the Jets left Wembley with a "W" and their 13th take-away of the season, equaling last year's total. Jets Q&A: Brandon Marshall has another big game for Jets (Kimberley A. Martin) Newsday How good a season is Brandon Marshall having for the Jets? Their offense may flow through Chris Ivory, but a big reason for their 3-1 record is their 6-4, 230-pound receiver. Marshall caught seven passes for 128 yards in Sunday's win over the Dolphins at Wembley Stadium in London. He is the first Jet since Al Toon in 1988 to record three consecutive 100-yard receiving games. 6 P a g e

7 Marshall has done it all this season, impressing fans with his catlike quickness and smarts (demonstrated by his strip of Tashaun Gipson immediately after an interception thrown by Ryan Fitzpatrick in a Week 1 win over the Browns). It hasn't all been perfect, as evidenced by his boneheaded decision to attempt a lateral in last week's loss to the Eagles. But he again showed why he's such a vital piece to this offense: His 58-yard reception from Fitzpatrick on the Jets' first play from scrimmage was his longest since Did Ndamukong Suh intentionally try to kick Fitzpatrick in the head? Fitzpatrick had no idea what hit him. "I didn't see him. I felt him," he said. On one of his early scrambles, Fitzpatrick dived toward the first-down marker near the Dolphins' sideline. Suh was in hot pursuit, coming from Fitzpatrick's left, while linebacker Koa Misi took a different angle. As Fitzpatrick dived, Misi lunged at him and fell on top of the quarterback. It appeared Suh was trying to avoid colliding with his teammate, but he instead kicked Fitzpatrick in the head, knocking the quarterback's helmet clean off, before tripping over Fitzpatrick. "I don't know, I mean, they didn't throw a flag on it," Fitzpatrick said of the Suh kick. "I was just trying to dive and get a first down and my slow speed allowed me to come up miserably short, but it was all right. They didn't throw a flag, which is fine." Given Suh's reputation as a dirty player, it's hard to know for sure. But the Jets didn't seem bothered by it. Said coach Todd Bowles: "I didn't hear [about] it. I didn't really see it, so." Speaking of Fitzpatrick... is he trying to challenge Ivory for best rusher? "I don't think we're going to live and die by the scramble by me," joked the 32-year-old quarterback, who ran for 34 yards on nine carries, including gains of 14 and 19. Bowles, however, cautioned his quarterback about learning when and how to slide. "I just get caught up sometimes," Fitzpatrick said. "I try to slide, but usually if I'm close to the third-down marker or something, the high school quarterback in me takes over. But yeah, he mentioned it once to me." Did Darrelle Revis really do the "Whip / Nae Nae" dance after his end-zone pick? He sure did! But it wasn't his idea. "My children told me to do that," Revis said, smiling. "They taught me the dance and they told me that if I get an interception to try to do the dance." He whipped out the "Whip / Nae Nae" dance immediately after intercepting a pass from Ryan Tannehill intended for Jarvis Landry in the end zone. Said Revis: "My teammates, they got a kick out it." Did anyone get hurt? David Harris suffered a quadriceps injury, Calvin Pryor suffered a bone bruise in his knee, rookie Leonard Williams tweaked an ankle and Bilal Powell injured his groin, according to Bowles. Though he didn't have postgame updates on the severity of each, he didn't seem overly concerned. What's the Jets' bye week schedule? 7 P a g e

8 The Jets are getting five days off, according to Bowles. Players will report to the facility Tuesday but will have Wednesday-Sunday to themselves. Chris Ivory, Eric Decker help Jets beat Dolphins in London (Kimberley A. Martin) Newsday LONDON - The Jets didn't need 350 rolls of toilet paper to clean up the mess that is the Miami Dolphins. All it took was a heavy dose of a healthy Chris Ivory, steady blitzes and one big-time throw by Ryan Fitzpatrick. Ivory rushed for a career-high 166 yards as the Jets dismantled the Dolphins, 27-14, in front of a sellout crowd of 83,986 at Wembley Stadium on Sunday. The Jets improved to 3-1 heading into this week's bye and might have sealed the fate of Dolphins coach Joe Philbin. Despite traveling more than 3,500 miles and adjusting to a five-hour time difference on a short week of preparation, the Jets showed no signs of fatigue in their first AFC East matchup of the season. They outgained Miami to take a 20-7 halftime lead and finished with a edge. The Dolphins (1-3) were 0-for-12 on third downs and 0-for-4 on fourth downs. Said Jets coach Todd Bowles: "I'll take that all day long." Asked what London fans learned about the Jets, Brandon Marshall said: "We're aggressive... Tough. Strong and physical. That's who we are." Though the Jets are an admitted work in progress, they believe the win is proof they could be on the verge of something special. "Everybody's bought in to coach Bowles and his message," linebacker Calvin Pace said. "We're trying to stack wins up and play for something bigger than 8-8 or 4-12, you know?" he added, referencing the records under Rex Ryan the past two seasons. "So it's a great start, a great first quarter of the season. We've just got to keep it going.'' "The sky's the limit for us," cornerback Darrelle Revis said. Marshall (seven catches, 128 yards) hauled in a 58-yard pass from Fitzpatrick on the Jets' first play from scrimmage. "It was big, man," Ivory said of the catch that set up his 3-yard score two plays later. "That lit a fire right there... Gotta start fast." Ivory took over from there, running circles around the Dolphins, including high-priced defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh. The secret to beating the Jets is simple: Stop Ivory and force them to be one-dimensional. But the Dolphins did anything but. The Jets are 5-1 when Ivory rushes for more than 100 yards. "That's our philosophy," Marshall said. "We want to run the ball, and if you want to put eight, nine men in the box, we're still going to figure out a way to run the ball." Eric Decker, who, like Ivory, missed last week's loss to the Eagles because of injury, had four catches for 46 yards and a TD. 8 P a g e

9 Fitzpatrick (16-for-29, 218 yards, TD, interception) made throws when it counted most, but many of his passes were way off line. Still, the Jets overcame those poor throws and 14 penalties for 163 yards with the help of Ivory, Buster Skrine's blitzing and fourth-quarter interceptions by Revis and Marcus Williams. According to ESPN Stats and Information, Bowles blitzed a defensive back 22 times, the most by any team in five seasons. The Dolphins are in disarray. There was speculation all week that Philbin was on the hot seat, and NFL.com reported that he could be fired if the Dolphins lost in London. The Jets, on the other hand, are feeling good. Said Marshall: "That's championship football right there, where special teams are playing well, the offense is playing well, defense is playing well. That's a great formula for success.'' Bowles, of course, had a far more measured response. "Through four games, I'm happy," he said. "Sixteen games, we'll see." Safety Dion Bailey's first week with the Jets leaves him gassed (Kimberley A. Martin) Newsday LONDON - Dion Bailey finally can sleep. After a whirlwind week that began in Seattle on Monday and ended 4,781 miles away in London -- and also included a brief stopover in New Jersey -- the newly acquired Jets safety is counting his blessings. And soon he'll be counting sheep. "I'm going to sleep a lot. I haven't slept a lot all week. I'm really exhausted. It's just been a whirlwind. But, I mean, man, what a day," the USC product said Sunday after recording four tackles and a pass breakup late in the fourth quarter of the Jets' win over the Miami Dolphins at Wembley Stadium. Bailey, 23, was cut by the Seahawks on Sept. 26 after Kam Chancellor ended his holdout. He was claimed off waivers by the Jets two days later. Bailey said he took a red-eye flight from Seattle last Monday night, arrived in New Jersey at 5:45 a.m. Tuesday and practiced Wednesday. Bailey noted that he's "not an NFL guy," so he doesn't keep up with NFL happenings unless it's for videostudy purposes. As a result, he had no idea he was headed to London with his new team. A mad dash to find his passport ensued. "I didn't know we were playing in London until my agent told me," Bailey said. Panic soon set in, but Bailey's passport eventually showed up. He also said on Sunday, according to USA Today, that his former USC quarterback, Matt Barkley, should get all the credit for him having a passport in the first place. During his freshman year of college, Bailey was enlisted by Barkley to help do community work in Haiti. Bailey said he applied for his first-ever passport in order to make the trip. Fortunately for the Jets (3-1), Bailey -- who was sent into Sunday's game after second-year safety Calvin Pryor left with a knee injury -- found his documentation in time. Bailey made two critical tackles and broke 9 P a g e

10 up a pass from Ryan Tannehill on the Dolphins' second-to-last drive of the game. Then Darrelle Revis intercepted a fourth-down pass in the end zone. "My tackling has carried me a long way," Bailey said. "So that's something I take a lot of pride in. I take pride in two things I can control, and that's my effort and my physicality. I try to bring that to the table every time I take the field." Bailey said he didn't know much about the Jets before coming to New Jersey but had heard a lot of good things about coach Todd Bowles from a friend, Arizona strong safety Tony Jefferson, who played under Bowles in "As soon as the Jets claimed me, he texted me, like: Man, you're going to be in a great position. Coach Bowles is going to love you," Bailey said. "Tony was in the same position I was in; he came out undrafted and coach Bowles gave him a shot." Now Bailey hopes he can stick with the Jets. But first he must tackle one more thing: their Week 5 bye. "I don't think I'll ever forget this week for the rest of my life," Bailey said, smiling. "This has been a crazy week for me." Chris Ivory turns heads of defenders (and teammates) (Kimberley A. Martin) Newsday October 5, LONDON - The NFL had better take notice of Chris Ivory. Despite his relaxed demeanor and hushed speaking voice, the Jets running back is a monster on the field. And Ivory made sure to run all over the Wembley Stadium grass and through Dolphins defenders -- including Miami's $114-million man, Ndamukong Suh. "He's a beast, man," Jets outside linebacker Calvin Pace said of Ivory, who rushed for a career-high 166 yards and one touchdown in the Jets' win Sunday. "I hope he gets the credit that he deserves around the league, with you guys, the media. He's one of the best doing it right now." After sitting out last week's loss to the Eagles, Ivory was determined to make a statement vs. the Dolphins. And his presence quickly was felt not only by Miami but by his teammates. "I've got to do a better job of blocking," receiver Brandon Marshall said. "I've been horrible, and part of the reason is because I've been a fan watching [Ivory]... His game speed is unbelievable. He runs the ball violently and the guy's a stud." Ivory credits much of his success to one trait. "I really think it's more of a mentality," he said. "Sometimes I try to get low, not all the time it works, but I think that's big for me. Sometimes I'm able to get a little lower, dip my shoulder and bring it up, and I think that's what helps me." He seems to show little regard for his body as he bounces off defenders and spins his way through traffic, his dreadlocks flowing wild and free from underneath his helmet all the while. And he often makes wouldbe tacklers look silly. With the Jets up 13-7 late in the first half, Ivory used a spin move and sheer strength to escape Suh's grasp en route to a 17-yard gain up the middle for a first down. 10 P a g e

11 "Well, he didn't make it," Ivory said, smiling, when asked about Suh's failed attempt to bring him down. "I pride myself on making the first guy miss." He acknowledged that his 29 carries were "a big workload" after he nursed a groin injury followed by a quadriceps injury the past two weeks. "But it didn't really bother me too much," Ivory said. "He was a workhorse," coach Todd Bowles said. Added Darrelle Revis: "He attacks the line of scrimmage like [no] back I've seen. I would say he's probably one of the best backs in the league." Afterward, Ivory said he was somewhat glad he sat out the Eagles game. "Last week gave me a little more time to get healthier than I was," he said. So was this the best game of his career? "I've had a couple great games, I think, in my opinion," said Ivory, whose previous career high was 158 yards when he was with the Saints in "They might not have been 100 and whatever it was, but it was a good game." His teammates were far more impressed. Especially Marshall, who will focus more on blocking than watching Ivory. "There's been like three or four times in this game where I'm watching or I stopped [to watch him run]," Marshall said, "and my guy got an extra hit on him." THE RECORD Jets replay: victory over Dolphins (J.P. Pelzman) The Record October 5, Star of the game Jets RB Chris Ivory vividly demonstrated what the offense was missing when he sat out the loss to Philadelphia because of a quadriceps injury. He rushed for a career-high 166 yards and one touchdown on 29 carries, and repeatedly pounded the Miami defense with second- and third-effort running. He also benefited from excellent blocking by the offensive line. Costly mistakes Back-to-back pass-interference penalties on Jets CB Darrelle Revis and S Marcus Gilchrist provided 58 of the 88 yards on Miami s first TD "drive." Jets RG Brian Winters holding penalty wiped out an Ivory run for a first down in the fourth quarter, and the Jets soon were forced to punt on that series. Miami rookie WR DeVante Parker was flagged for offensive pass interference, negating Ryan Tannehill s 2-yard TD pass to Jarvis Landry that would have cut Miami s deficit to one score in the fourth quarter. Eye-catching WR Eric Decker, who returned to action after sitting out last week s game with a knee injury, made a brilliant catch of a second-quarter Ryan Fitzpatrick pass for a 26-yard gain that led to a Nick Folk field goal. Decker flagged the ball down with his left hand and then used his right hand to help gather it in. Controversial Miami NT Ndamukong Suh kicked Fitzpatrick in the head and knocked his helmet off after a first-half scramble by the Jets QB, who was on the ground at the time, but officials ruled it was inadvertent. Suh appeared to be trying to avoid colliding with a teammate. Miami WR Kenny Stills inexplicably failed to step out of bounds after a long reception late in the game, costing his team 20-plus seconds. 11 P a g e

12 Coaching decisions Miami coach Joe Philbin and members of his staff are on the hot seat, and it wasn t hard to see why. Offensive coordinator Bill Lazor made some curious calls, including not ordering any running plays after the Dolphins got a first down at the Jets 4 with more than six minutes remaining. And while Lazor certainly was hampered by the absence of injured LT Branden Albert in facing the Jets myriad of blitzes, he didn t make the proper adjustments in altering the pass routes he called. Looking ahead The Jets, who are 3-1 for the first time since 2010, will have their bye week before facing Washington at home on Oct. 18. The Jets haven t had a bye this early since they had it after the fourth week during the 2008 season. Washington rallied to beat Philadelphia on Sunday, evening its record at 2-2. The Redskins will visit Atlanta next Sunday. NEW YORK TIMES Jets Cross Atlantic and Cruise Past the Dolphins (Sam Borden) New York Times LONDON Maybe it was the sleep consultant. Maybe it was the special light-reducing sunglasses. Maybe and oh, if wishing made it so it was the imported toilet paper. No one on the Jets was quite sure why, exactly, the team finished off its short, strange, trans-atlantic N.F.L. week with such a dominant start to its game against Miami on Sunday, but there was no denying it was critical. One week after a sloppy opening led to a letdown loss in Philadelphia, there was no time for jet lag. And so, on the first snap by the Jets offense, quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick called a play known as Double Go basically two receivers going deep and then hit Brandon Marshall for a 58-yard completion down the sideline. Two plays later, before many in the announced crowd of 83,986 fans at Wembley Stadium had settled into their seats, the Jets were in the end zone and on their way toward a thorough, if not always pretty, victory. The win sent the Jets into their bye week with a flourish and a 3-1 record. The Dolphins will have two weeks to ponder their 1-3 record, as well as the fate of Coach Joe Philbin, whose job was reported to be in jeopardy even before his team s latest somnolent showing. Much was made of the Jets planning for their overseas trip. The British news media seemed particularly interested in the Jets apparent opinion that European toilet tissue was too thin. But all the preparations including the boxes of American condiments they had shipped to London as well as the expert who provided tips on reducing fatigue were intended, in Fitzpatrick s words, to make us feel at home. It must have worked. Fitzpatrick passed for 218 yards and a touchdown, Marshall caught seven passes for 128 yards, and the plucky running back Chris Ivory recorded a career-high 166 yards on 29 carries. The Jets defense, too, was stout, with the Dolphins going 0 for 16 on third- and fourth-down conversion attempts. The Jets outgained the Dolphins, 425 yards to P a g e

13 Coming here to London, I think we wanted to make a statement, Jets cornerback Darrelle Revis said afterward. He shrugged and added, I think it worked out pretty well. While Fitzpatrick and Marshall provided the early spark for the Jets, Ivory s bullish running was a constant hammer. After missing last week s game with a leg injury, Ivory appeared rejuvenated, alternately whipping around the edge and slamming his way through the line. He regularly shucked off tacklers, at one point even shedding lineman Ndamukong Suh, the high-priced off-season addition who was supposed to shore up Miami s defense. Ivory grinned when that sequence was mentioned to him. There are times, he said, when he seeks out contact with a lowered shoulder he can fire into a defender s chest if he feels he cannot run to open space. Revis called Ivory a workhorse. Linebacker Calvin Pace said he was a beast. Marshall said Ivory ran violently and then admitted that he was guilty of poor blocking on some running plays because he was mesmerized by Ivory s bulldozing of would-be tacklers. I ve been horrible, Marshall said. Part of the reason: I ve been a fan, just watching. Ivory s performance also opened the Jets passing game, and Fitzpatrick welcomed Eric Decker back from a knee injury by hitting him with a 10-yard touchdown pass just before halftime. (Decker finished with four catches for 46 yards.) That score made the margin 20-7 at halftime, and many in the pro-dolphins crowd whistled as the Miami players ran off the field. The derision was understandable: Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill looked overmatched, and Miami s running game was virtually nonexistent. The Dolphins had managed to score only because the Jets gave them 7 points, Jets Coach Todd Bowles said, referring to two lengthy passinterference penalties. Even though the Dolphins also made this trip last season, they were the ones who seemed out of sorts, spending most of the game looking as ragged as a dress shirt stuffed into the bottom of a carry-on. We ve got to make the plays, said Tannehill, who completed 19 of 44 passes for 198 yards. It s kind of ridiculous that we keep talking about it, we keep saying it. In the locker room we re talking about it. We re talking about it to each other on the field. It s not for a lack of want to or a lack of understanding of what we need to do. We re just not getting it done, and we have to get it done. It s plain and simple. The lack of execution reflected poorly on Philbin, who met after the game with the team s owner, Stephen M. Ross, and said he was not at all concerned about his job status, though he conceded that around his team these days it feels as if the walls are closing in on you. Even the Twitter account for Heathrow Airport seemed to have some fun at Philbin s expense, posting a message after the game that indicated where Philbin could apply for a job as a baggage handler. Little seemed to go right for the Dolphins, who could never quite take advantage of the opportunities they were presented. The second half was more of a slog for the Jets, with the offense going quiet after Zac Stacy scored on a 2-yard run on the team s first possession. But immediately after Fitzpatrick threw a third-quarter interception, Muhammad Wilkerson sacked Tannehill, and the Dolphins eventually punted, extinguishing any buzz. We got a lot of hits on their quarterback, Jets cornerback Antonio Cromartie said. We had a good game plan, and we went right after him. That was how it went for much of the closing 20 minutes any whiff of Dolphins momentum quickly snuffed out by the Jets defense and by the time Marcus Williams sealed the result with a final interception of Tannehill, many of the spectators had long since left. 13 P a g e

14 On one side of the field, Philbin dropped his head; across the way, Bowles pumped his fist. Coaches and players often think of the N.F.L. season in quarters, so Bowles was asked after the game how he felt about his team with 25 percent of the season done. Perhaps cognizant of the Jets checkered history, Bowles declined to be too effusive. After four games, I m happy, he said. After 16 games, we ll see. EXTRA POINTS Jets defensive end LEONARD WILLIAMS left the game with an ankle sprain, and safety CALVIN PRYOR sustained a deep bruise on his knee. TODD BOWLES said the players would be evaluated this week.... The Jets left for the airport after the game. Bowles said the team would report to its training complex Tuesday but then have the rest of the week off. Correction: An earlier version of this article misstated the location of the Jets loss to the Eagles last week. The game was played in East Rutherford, N.J., not in Philadelphia. ESPN NEW YORK Jets pound Dolphins with a heavy dose of Chris Ivory (Rich Cimini) ESPN New York LONDON -- The New York Jets were mocked on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean for packing curious travel items (toilet paper, anyone?), but they got the last laugh. Did they ever. They dominated the Miami Dolphins start to finish, re-establishing their personality on offense in a victory before a pro-miami crowd at a sold-out Wembley Stadium on Sunday. Chris Ivory, refreshed after sitting out a week with a quadriceps injury, bludgeoned Miami's... uh, tissuethin run defense, rushing for a career-high 166 yards on 29 carries, including a touchdown. If there was any doubt about Ivory's importance to the offense, it's gone now. This wasn't complicated, folks. The Jets simply pounded the Dolphins on both sides of the ball, roughing up quarterback Ryan Tannehill along the way. For most of the day, the dazed Dolphins played with as much emotion as a Buckingham Palace guard. Maybe the Jets should bring their own toilet paper on their next trip to Foxborough, Massachusetts. What it means: The Jets are 1-0 in the AFC East and reached the quarter pole of the season with a 3-1 record. It's a terrific start for the Jets, considering the turmoil of the preseason. New coach Todd Bowles couldn't have asked for a better first month. Now they can enjoy their bye week. What were they thinking? After building a 20-7 lead, the Jets got passive, especially on offense. There was no sense of urgency, and they let the Dolphins hang around too long. One reason to get excited: Bowles brought an attacking mindset into the game. On the first play, the Jets went after the Dolphins' best cornerback, Brent Grimes -- a 58-yard completion to Brandon Marshall. One play later, they ran directly at Ndamukong Suh, the Dolphins' $114 million defensive savior -- a 3-yard touchdown run by Ivory. That's what you call making a statement, trying to kick a struggling team when 14 P a g e

15 it's down. The Jets' defense stayed aggressive throughout the game and held Miami to a combined 0-for- 16 on third and fourth downs. Wow. One reason to panic: The Jets were penalized 14 times for 163 yards thanks largely to sloppy technique on downfield passes. They won't be a winning team with that many mistakes. They committed three long pass-interference penalties -- Darrelle Revis (36 yards), Marcus Gilchrist (22) and Antonio Cromartie (18). Cromartie also had soft coverage on Kenny Stills' 10-yard touchdown catch in the fourth quarter. Wait, there's more: Buster Skrine was called for holding in the end zone. The Jets' high-priced secondary should be better than that, especially against an average receiving corps. Revis and Marcus Williams ruined Miami's comeback bid with late interceptions in the end zone. Fantasy watch: One week after disappointing fantasy owners by dressing but not playing, Ivory crushed it with the most prolific rushing game of his career. He could've had a second touchdown, but backup Zac Stacy got the ball on a 2-yard scoring run. Ouch: Linebacker David Harris (quad), safety Calvin Pryor (knee), defensive end Leonard Williams (leg) and running back Bilal Powell (groin) were hurt. None of them returned; there's no word on the severity. Wide receiver Eric Decker, who returned after missing one game with a sprained knee, was used sparingly, mostly in the slot as the No. 3 receiver. Rookie Devin Smith was the starter opposite Marshall, but Decker still made an impact. He made a terrific one-handed catch and, later, scored on a 10-yard touchdown reception. His return provided balance to the passing game. Hot-and-cold Fitz: Maybe we're nitpicking, but Ryan Fitzpatrick (16-for-29, 218 yards) came perilously close to two or three interceptions. After a fast start, he cooled off considerably, forcing a couple of tentative throws into tight coverage. There were also a few miscommunications with his intended targets. In the end, he threw a meaningless interception, but this was a walk on the Fitzpatrick Tightrope -- yet it's still better than a ride on the Geno Coaster. Let's say this about Fitzpatrick: His legs were huge. He ran for 34 yards, almost outrushing the Dolphins. David Harris, Leonard Williams injured in Jets' win over Dolphins (Rich Cimini) ESPN New York LONDON -- The New York Jets are lucky to have the bye week coming up because they're a banged-up team. Three defensive starters were injured in Sunday's win over the Miami Dolphins at Wembley Stadium: linebacker David Harris (quadriceps), safety Calvin Pryor (bruised knee) and defensive end Leonard Williams (sprained ankle). Jets coach Todd Bowles didn't provide any updates, except to say Harris "should be OK." Harris echoed that sentiment as he walked into the trainers' room, saying, "I'll be all right." He was replaced by veteran Erin Henderson, an example of the Jets' solid depth at the position. Pryor, who banged knees with a Miami player, said it's not a serious injury. He was replaced by Dion Bailey, who was picked up on waivers only six days ago from the Seattle Seahawks. He ended up making a couple of key plays in crunch time. 15 P a g e

16 The biggest question surrounds Williams, who wasn't around after the game. If he can't play in two weeks against the Washington Redskins, the Jets have a decent replacement -- a fellow by the name of Sheldon Richardson, whose four-game drug suspension ends Monday. The Jets have only one practice during the bye week -- Tuesday -- which will be a chipping-the-rust-off day for Richardson. If Richardson is suspended again for his July arrest, an apparent violation of the NFL's personal-conduct policy, he probably won't hear anytime in the near future. Then again, with the NFL, who knows? On offense, running back Bilal Powell (groin) left in the first half and didn't return. Zac Stacy came off the bench to fill the role of third-down back. Stacy also scored on a 2-yard run, giving Chris Ivory a rest. As for that Tuesday practice, you can bet a lot of banged-up players will be sitting out, recuperating from a win over the Dolphins that took a physical toll. If the Jets didn't have a bye next week, there would be a lot of question marks on the injury report. "Perfect timing," Pryor said of the bye. Bowles shed light on the injury to linebacker Jamari Lattimore, a late addition to the injury report. He developed a headache Saturday and was evaluated for a concussion. Bowles said he has no idea how Lattimore could've suffered a head injury because they didn't practice in pads last week. Jets already have a winning blueprint: His name is Chris Ivory (Rich Cimini) ESPN New York LONDON -- Chris Ivory doesn't say much. For him, two or three sentences qualifies as a filibuster. So, no, he's not Mr. Personality, but he embodies the personality of the New York Jets. Tough. Aggressive. Relentless. He runs as if he hates the men trying to bring him down. Based on that premise, Ivory packed a whole lot of animosity with him on the trip across the Atlantic Ocean. On Sunday, he punished the Miami Dolphins, rushing for a career-high 166 yards and a touchdown in the Jets' win at Wembley Stadium. With each broken tackle, Ivory reminded everyone he's the key to the offense, not Ryan Fitzpatrick and not Brandon Marshall. You saw what happened last week, when Ivory stood on the sideline in uniform, nursing a strained quadriceps. The Jets were lost without him and they lost. His teammates and coaches tried to downplay his absence, not wanting to insult his replacements, but they were fibbing. Todd Bowles' blueprint -- or should we call it a black-and-blueprint? -- includes a nasty defense and a heavy dose of No. 33. If they do anything in this suddenly promising season at the quarter pole -- it'll be because of Ivory. "His game speed is unbelievable and he runs the ball violently," Marshall said. "The guy's a stud -- a stud. Like I said in the preseason, he makes everything go for us." Marshall chided himself for "horrible" blocking, claiming one of the reasons is because he gets distracted by watching Ivory do his thing. "Fan-watching," Marshall called it. There were 83,986 fans at iconic Wembley, many of them probably entranced by Ivory's physical running style. They love tough guys in this part of the world -- rugby is immensely popular -- and they must have appreciated the Jets running back. Ivory ran through a would-be tackle by Ndamukong Suh, the Dolphins' 16 P a g e

17 $114 million enforcer, and he blasted Jelani Jenkins so hard that the dazed linebacker went to the sideline with a neck stinger. Afterward, a smiling Ivory stood before the British media, his left sock soaked with blood at the shin, and tried to explain his mentality. "Sometimes I see bodies out of my peripheral [vision]," he said. "If I don't feel like I can get outside, I try to pick a shoulder [to hit] and that's usually the guy in front of me." The British reporters laughed. The defenders don't laugh. Asked to describe Ivory, teammate Damon Harrison said, "One word: Man." "He attacks the line of scrimmage like [no] back I've seen -- any back," Darrelle Revis said. "I'd say he's probably one of the best backs in the league, the way he runs. We feed off that energy." The biggest play in the game was the first play, a 58-yard pass to Marshall that created immediate energy. After that, they kept feeding Ivory. On the next play, he ran for 12 yards -- a fan-watching play for Marshall, the receiver said later. Ivory followed up by plowing into the end zone from three yards, running through Suh's gap. Playing on higher-than-usual natural grass, Ivory decided to wear his long-studded cleats, obviously a smart choice. But you got the feeling he would've rushed for 166 even if he had been wearing bedroom slippers. "Chris Ivory is a beast, man," teammate Calvin Pace said. Marshall is the Jets' best player on offense, but Ivory is the heart-and-soul player, the extension of Bowles. In only four games, the Jets know who they want to be. It often takes time for a new coach to create that culture, but it has happened quickly for Bowles, in large part, because of Ivory. "That," Fitzpatrick said, "is what our identity is." NEW YORK POST Championship football : Jets blast Dolphins in London beatdown (Brian Costello) New York Post LONDON The Jets brought their own toilet paper, but the only thing they flushed Sunday was the Dolphins. The ultra-prepared Jets wiped the Wembley Stadium field with the Dolphins on Sunday in front of 83,986 energetic fans. Gang Green controlled the game from start to finish, hitting a 58-yard pass on their first play, smothering the Miami offense and possibly sending Dolphins coach Joe Philbin to the unemployment line. That s championship football right there, said wide receiver Brandon Marshall, who was on the receiving end of that 58-yard bomb, where special teams are playing well, the offense is playing well, moving the ball and holding onto the ball. The defense is playing well. That s a great formula for success. 17 P a g e
