- 2d ESPN NFL Injury Report David Bailey: Out
- 2d Judy Battista (X) That the Jets scored on their first 6 possessions is great. That they were 2 of 6 in the red zone is a problem that has plagued them all season. The defense obviously missed David Bailey, sacking Kirk Cousins just once, and allowing him enough comfort to complete 73% of passes.

- I know Jets fans are angry right now — but it should be said that this year’s rookie class is panning out already in a really fun way. David Bailey: 5.5 sacks, 9 QB hits, 3 forced fumbles in seven games Kenyon Sadiq: 2 TDs, 100-yard game, talented enough that fans are already mad he’s not getting the ball more Omar Cooper: Back to back 100-yard/TD games. Looks like the real deal. Darrell Jackson: Already looking like a good find on Day 3. Should play more depending on how long Sweat is out. D’Angelo Ponds is going to see his role increase. He’s learning nickel on the job so expect some bumps — but the talent is there if he can figure out a new position on the fly.
- The Dolphins scored a 63-yard touchdown on this play. Poor tackling effort by Minkah Fitzpatrick ... and Demario Davis and David Bailey lightly bumped into each other and stopped running.

Gotta like to see Malik Willis using his legs to pick up the first as David Bailey was set on going straight up the field out wide on the edge. He'll have to think twice about that now on third downs.
