13. NEW YORK JETS (6-5)

Last week: 14
Change: +1

The New York Jets needed that. After losing four of their past five games, the Jets were able to get back on track against the Miami Dolphins to keep the playoff hopes alive. Ryan Fitzpatrick had arguably his best performance as a Jet, throwing four touchdown passes. Chris Ivory ran in another one.

The Jets are tough to run against, but the Dolphins had enough talent in the backfield to have some success. Oh, apparently not. Between rookie Jay Ajayi, Lamar Miller and Jarvis Landry, the Dolphins posted just 12 rushing yards.

Brandon Marshall continues to be a difference maker on offense for the Jets, and he hauled in another two touchdown passes. Eric Decker and Devin Smith joined in the party. The Jets’ schedule is favorable, but can they take advantage?

Next: No. 12
