Saunders was in a crowd full of Jaguars players, and a referee tried to separate everybody. Unfortunately, it looks like Saunders may have shoved the referee, and he threw the flag.</p><p>Saunder ended up having to leave the game for making contact with the referee, according to ESPN’s Rich Cimini.</p><p>A few hours after the game, Saunders <a href="https://x.com/khalenNOTkaylen/status/2000330040412962937" rel="noopener">shared his thoughts</a> on the ejection, and he was not a fan of the call.</p><p>“7 years, no ejections, no unsportsmanlike conducts, i think maybe one Unnecessary roughness for a tackle right at the whistle in a preseason game..

Quincy Williams was one of the players, as he said, “I have nothing positive to say today so I’m not doing media,” according to Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic.</p><p>It’s hard to know if the Jets were mad at the officiating or how they played on that side of the ball.

While the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/nfl-stories/jets-jaguars-bold-predictions-week-15-clash">Jets have fallen behind the Jacksonville Jaguars</a> 21-7, Cook has looked better than many have expected.</p><p>With just under 11 minutes left in the first half, Cook has completed 6-of-8 passes for 51 yards and a touchdown. He <a href="https://x.com/RichCimini/status/2000273520769523773" rel="noopener">already has more passing yards</a> than Fields did in three of his starts this season, via Rich Cimini of ESPN.</p><p>Cook’s touchdown pass<a href="https://x.com/ClutchPoints/status/2000272724283863188" rel="noopener"> came from nine yards out</a> to Adonai Mitchell.

The Jags QB has been on fire to start the game, completing 8-of-12 passes for 108 yards and two touchdowns. He has also run in a touchdown.</p><p>Whatever happens for the remainder of the Jets vs Jaguars clash, this will essentially be a tryout for Cook. As an undrafted free agent, he wasn’t expected to see much playing time as a rookie, let alone make a start. New York, and the league at large, will learn a lot about Cook by the conclusion of the game.</p><p>The Jets seem headed towards a divorce with Fields. They already benched him in favor of Tyrod Taylor before his injury. New York is likely to use a top draft pick on a quarterback. But if Cook continues to play well, maybe he can join the 2026 backup conversation.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

While a few things have gone right this season, the organization seems to value continuity. As their 2025 season comes to a close, they are looking to keep one player on their offensive line for the future. Jeremy Fowler reports that the Jets are signing starting center Josh Myers <a href="https://x.com/JFowlerESPN/status/1999478050719957276" rel="noopener">to a contract extension.</a></p><p>“The Jets and center Josh Myers have reached a two-year, $11-million extension with $6 million guaranteed, per source,” Fowler reported on X. “A free agent add from 2025 is now in the fold for multiple years.”</p><p>Myers was a 2021 second-round pick by the Green Bay Packers. He started for the Packers for his entire career, but was let go by the team after his fifth-year option was not picked up. The Jets subsequently picked him up this offseason and made him their starting center.</p><p>Myers has been an underrated great piece of the Jets’ offensive line. ESPN Pass Blocking Win Rate metric has Myers ranked 15th among interior offensive linemen, winning 96% of his pass-blocking reps this season. The Jets may have had issues with their offensive line all season long, but Myers is far from the issue.</p><p>The Jets, unfortunately, have more issues to deal with. As part of their rebuild, they traded two of their best defenders in Sauce Gardner and Quinnen Williams, at the trade deadline. They also benched quarterback Justin Fields due to poor play. His replacement, Tyrod Taylor, started a few games, but he suffered a groin injury in their previous game. With Fields also nursing an injury, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/new-york-jets/jets-news-brady-cook-officially-named-starter-for-week-15-jaguars-tilt">Brady Cook will take over as the Jets’ starter</a> against the Jacksonville Jaguars this week.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The team <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/new-york-jets/jets-news-brady-cook-makes-nfl-debut-after-tyrod-taylor-goes-down-injury">turned to Brady Cook</a> on Sunday after Tyrod Taylor suffered a groin injury in the first quarter. The undrafted rookie tossed two interceptions and took six sacks in his NFL debut. And after the 34-10 drubbing, Cook gave Jets fans an <a href="https://x.com/RichCimini/status/1998867499908214839" rel="noopener">unexpected flashback</a>.</p><p>“The first few series was definitely quick and I think when you’re not quite trusting it yet, and things are moving fast, you might put a little extra heat on it to protect yourself from the people you don’t see – from the ghosts,” Cook said, per ESPN’s Rich Cimini.</p><p>The phrase immediately brought to mind <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/new-york-jets/jets-news-leveon-bell-tweets-that-sam-darnold-was-screwed-over-by-nfl-airing-ghost-comment">Sam Darnold’s infamous “seeing ghosts” game</a> from 2019. In his sophomore season, Darnold was rattled by the New England Patriots’ defense on Monday Night Football. He committed five turnovers in New York’s 33-0 loss. And, because it’s the Jets, he happened to be mic’d up for the game.</p><h2><b>Brady Cook utters haunting words after Jets’ latest loss</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/Brady-Cook-2.jpg"><figcaption>Ed Mulholland-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>After a red zone interception in the second quarter, Darnold came to the sideline and infamously told his coach, “I’m seeing ghosts.” The clip blew up and quickly became a part of the Jets’ rich history of embarrassment.</p><p>Darnold survived the temporary haunting and moved on to better things. But New York remains in quarterback purgatory.</p><p>The team tabbed Tyrod Taylor as the starting quarterback after Justin Fields was benched ahead of Week 12. But with Taylor ruled out Sunday and <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/new-york-jets/jets-news-justin-fields-wont-backup-week-14-dolphins-clash">Fields inactive with a knee injury</a>, Cook got the call. Pressed into action, the first-year passer went 14/30 for 163 scoreless yards and two interceptions.</p><p>The Dolphins scored 21 points in the first quarter. Isaiah Williams answered with a punt return touchdown. But New York could only muster three more points the rest of the way.</p><p>The Jets were officially eliminated from the postseason with Week 14’s loss. The 34-10 blowout <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/new-york-jets/jets-news-new-york-historic-playoff-drought-pathetic-loss-dolphins">extended the Jets’ playoff drought</a> to 15 straight seasons, the longest streak in the four major American sports.</p><p>Taylor has yet to return to practice and is questionable for Week 15. Cook is currently getting all the first-team reps. He’s in line to make his first career start against the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday unless, of course, he comes down with <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/new-york-jets/jets-news-sam-darnold-diagnosed-mono-sit-out-monday-night-game-against-browns">mononucleosis</a>.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Meanwhile, New York fans are watching the College Football Playoff, looking for their next quarterback. Before the Jaguars and Jets square off, check out these bold predictions.</p><p>The Jets could start any of three men at quarterback on Sunday. It may be Tyrod Taylor, who left Week 14’s game with a groin injury. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/new-york-jets/jets-news-justin-fields-wont-backup-week-14-dolphins-clash">Justin Fields was inactive with a knee injury</a> and has not played in a month after getting benched. But third-stringer Brady Cook played terribly, so he won’t start unless the other two can’t go. The Jaguars are relatively healthy, outside of the season-ending injury to Travis Hunter.</p><p>How will those injuries impact the Jets’ and Jaguars’ bold predictions?</p><h2><b>Brian Thomas Jr has first 100-yard game of season</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/Brian-Thomas-Jr-with-Jaguars.jpg"><figcaption>Corey Perrine/Florida Times-Union / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>It looked like the Jaguars had drafted the next great wide receiver last year when Brian Thomas Jr put up 1,282 yards in his rookie season. But his sophomore season has been disappointing so far, with 35 receptions for 535 yards in ten games. That is a yards-per-game average of 53.5 compared to 75.4 in his rookie year. Thomas will have a 100-yard game for the first time this season against the Jets.</p><p>Without Hunter, the offense should be running through Thomas this season. Brenton Strange and J<a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/jacksonville-jaguars/jakobi-meyers-trade-grades-for-jaguars-raiders">akobi Meyers are great secondary options</a>, but Trevor Lawrence should be finding Thomas on every big play in this game. Without Gardner, the Jets’ secondary has taken a significant step down. That should help Thomas finally get some momentum.</p><p>The Jaguars are in pole position to host a playoff game, which would be significant for the franchise moving forward. But for them to have any chance at making a deep run, Thomas needs to revert to his rookie form.</p><h2><b>Breece Hall gets held under 50 rushing yards</b></h2><p>The Jets have no quarterback, likely won’t have Garrett Wilson, did not trade their pending free-agent running back, and still cannot run the ball. Breece Hall has gone five consecutive weeks with under 100 rushing yards, with three performances under 60. The Jaguars’ pass rush is strong, and they just bottled up Jonathan Taylor in the Colts game. With a must-win game at hand, the Jaguars will hold Hall under 50 rushing yards on Sunday.</p><p>The Jets blew it up at the trade deadline, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/new-york-jets/why-jets-2025-nfl-trade-deadline-was-rousing-success">sending out Quinnen Williams and Sauce Gardner for four draft picks</a> and two players. But they kept Hall, who will be an unrestricted free agent at the end of the season. The Chiefs were reportedly close to getting Hall, but were not willing to pay the third-round pick the Jets wanted to give up.</p><p>This now opens up a big question for the offseason. Will Darren Mougey give Hall the franchise tag? Or will he saddle the salary cap with a long-term deal for a running back?</p><p>Oh, right, the Jets play a game. Breece Hall will not break this game open.</p><h2><b>The Jaguars will dominate the Jets on Sunday</b></h2><p>The Jaguars undoubtedly hear the noise about the Texans’ winning streak and great defense. It was Jacksonville’s fourth-quarter collapse that started this Houston run with Davis Mills as the starting quarterback. But the Jags still have a one-game advantage and need to win to stay ahead of Houston. They will take care of business on Sunday, crushing the Jets at home.</p><p>According to FanDuel Sportsbook, the Jaguars are 12.5-point <a href="https://sportsbook.fanduel.com/football/nfl/new-york-jets-@-jacksonville-jaguars-35021126" rel="noopener">favorites over the</a> Jets on Sunday. With an over/under of 41.5, it is clear that the sportsbooks do not respect the Jets’ offense. Their team total is just 14.5. If the Jets were to win on Sunday, it would be one of the biggest upsets of the season.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Heading into Week 15, the New York Giants hold the No. 1 overall pick. But with a <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/new-york-giants/giants-news-jameis-winston-jaxson-dart-aura">potential franchise quarterback in Jaxson Dart</a> already in the building, ESPN’s Field Yates has the G Men <a href="https://www.espn.com/nfl/draft2026/story/_/id/47243299/2026-nfl-mock-draft-first-round-predictions-32-picks-field-yates">trading that pick</a> to the New York Jets in his latest 2026 NFL mock draft.</p><p>While the Giants may have their long-term solution at quarterback, the Jets definitely don’t, after a season that saw them play Justin Fields, Tyrod Taylor, and Brady Cook. That’s why Fields predicts that New Jersey’s AFC team will trade up from No. 7 to take <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/new-york-jets/jets-news-espn-mocks-fernando-mendoza-no-1-replace-justin-fields">Indiana QB Fernando Mendoza with the top pick</a>.</p><p>While Yates doesn’t mention what it would cost the Jets to move up six spots, the Carolina Panthers gave the Chicago Bears two firsts, two seconds, and wide receiver D.J. Moore to move from No. 9 to No. 1 in 2023.</p><p>Those picks would certainly jumpstart the Giants’ rebuild around Dart and for whatever head coach takes over for Brian Daboll. In this particular 2026 NFL mock draft, Yates has Big Blue taking Arizona wideout Jordyn Tyson, who would be the second WR off the board after Carnell Tate.</p><p>Tyson would, hypothetically, give Dart a tremendous complement of offensive weapons, assuming that Malik Nabers and Cam Skattebo return at full strength from their respective leg injuries next season.</p><p>So, while this 2026 NFL mock draft trade makes sense for both franchises, the biggest question is whether these two teams, which share a stadium, would make such a monumental deal with each other. Because if they do, the back pages of the New York tabloids will celebrate the winner of this deal and excoriate the loser for years to come.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

On Monday, the suspect in the shooting <a href="https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/47257417/police-arrest-20-year-old-suspect-shooting-jets-boyd" rel="noopener">was caught</a> and is now charged, per Rich Cimini of ESPN. </p><p>The suspect has been identified as 20-year-old Frederick Green from the Bronx, following a lengthy manhunt. He was taken into custody near the University at Buffalo North Campus in Amherst, New York. On Tuesday, Green was taken to the Midtown Manhattan police precinct to be charged.</p><p>Green is charged with attempted murder, assault, and criminal possession of a weapon. On Nov. 16, the 29-year-old Boyd was shot in his abdomen at around 2:00 am outside a restaurant in Manhattan. Last week, Boyd <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/new-york-jets/jets-news-kris-boyd-surprises-teammates-special-teams-meeting" rel="noopener">made a surprise appearance at the Jets’ practice facility</a> after being released from the hospital. </p><p>Authorities believe that Green was trying to make a run for it. He was eventually caught in a police standoff at an apartment complex in Buffalo. The U.S. Marshals Service in Buffalo and the New York/New Jersey Regional Fugitive Task Force confirmed that Green was present on the second floor of the building during the standoff. </p><h2><b>How the Jets have responded to this near-fatal tragedy</b></h2><p>Since the shooting, the Jets organization has shown its support for Boyd in many ways. A public statement and flurries of prayers and well-wishes came Boyd’s way. </p><p>Plus, head coach Aaron Glenn spoke privately with Boyd and his family. Teammates expressed their dismay at what happened. Harrison Phillips and Jermaine Johnson each took to social media to express their shock and offer prayers to Boyd. </p><p>In fact, Phillips even referred to it as “a small dose of PTSD”. </p><p>When Boyd made his return to practice, he took part in a special teams meeting. Afterward, he broke the huddle and instilled optimism in the team. </p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The Los Angeles Chargers and Philadelphia Eagles battled through turnovers, big plays, and late-game drama befitting two teams fighting for postseason position. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/los-angeles-chargers/chargers-news-justin-herbert-puts-himself-in-patrick-mahomes-company">The Chargers’ overtime triumph</a> shook up the AFC and NFC playoff pictures in meaningful ways. With Jalen Hurts struggling, Justin Herbert grinding through adversity, and Cameron Dicker delivering a flawless kicking performance, both teams leave Week 14 with very different postseason realities. Now, the question becomes: Which contender strengthened its footing, and whose road just got more treacherous?</p><h2><b>Chaotic Week 14 showdown</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/Justin-Herbert3.jpg"><figcaption>Gary A. Vasquez-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>The Chargers edged the Eagles 22-19 in overtime at SoFi Stadium. Los Angeles won a defensive struggle highlighted by eight total turnovers and defined by clutch special teams play. The Chargers opened the scoring with a 4-yard touchdown from Justin Herbert to Omarion Hampton. However, the middle quarters belonged to the kickers. Cameron Dicker and Jake Elliott traded field goals in a gritty chess match that left the score tied 13-9 entering the fourth.</p><p>Philadelphia seemed poised to seize control when Saquon Barkley ripped off a stunning 52-yard touchdown. That gave the Eagles a 16-13 lead. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/chargers-news-la-beat-eagles-despite-justin-herbert-being-in-absolute-hell-all-game">Herbert, though, battled through two fumbles of his own</a> and leaned on a productive ground attack that tallied 169 rushing yards. Meanwhile, Dicker came through repeatedly. His 46-yard field goal forced overtime before he nailed the game-winning 54-yarder after Philly failed to score on its opening OT possession. Herbert’s 66 rushing yards proved crucial. The Chargers escaped with a win that could loom large in the AFC’s crowded Wild Card race.</p><p>Meanwhile, Hurts endured one of the worst passing performances of his career. He completed just 21 of 40 throws for 240 yards and four interceptions. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/philadelphia-eagles/eagles-news-jalen-hurts-reveals-only-thing-must-do-5-turnover-chargers">That turnover avalanche</a> overshadowed Barkley’s 122-yard day and Philadelphia’s otherwise solid defensive effort. The loss dropped the Eagles to 8-5 and tightened the NFC East race far more than they expected heading into December.</p><p>Here we’ll try to look at and discuss the Philadelphia Eagles’ playoff chances and their updated odds after their Week 14 win over the Chargers.</p><h2><b>Eagles still strong, but cracks are showing</b></h2><p>The Eagles still control the NFC East. They have a two-game lead over the Dallas Cowboys (6-6-1), and their playoff odds remain strong. <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/nfl-playoff-picture/2025/" rel="noopener">Models project a final record of 11-6</a>, good for the NFC’s No. 3 seed. Their postseason probability sits at 92 percent, with a similar percentage to clinch the division. That said, the loss to the Chargers exposed troubling trends for a team that expects to contend for the conference crown.</p><p>The most alarming development is Hurts’ recent slump. His four-interception outing dragged the offense into its second straight loss. It widened the gap between the Eagles and the conference’s top seeds: the 10-3 Rams and 9-3-1 Packers. Hurts’ aggressiveness remains an asset. Still, his turnover rate is rapidly becoming a liability that has shaved the margin for error off this roster.</p><p>The schedule, however, remains favorable. The Eagles face the Raiders in Week 15, then the Commanders twice with a trip to Buffalo sandwiched in between. Three of those opponents are out of playoff contention. That gives Philadelphia ample opportunity to stabilize its offense and recalibrate its defensive rotations. Those have shown fatigue down the stretch. They boast less than a 1 percent chance of securing a first-round bye. At 5 percent, though, their odds of repeating as Super Bowl champions remain in reach. Of course that’s provided Hurts and the offense course-correct immediately.</p><h2><b>Massive OT win keeps Chargers alive</b></h2><p>The Chargers’ overtime win cemented them as one of the AFC’s most resilient playoff contenders. With the victory, Los Angeles improved to the No. 5 seed. They also avoided falling into the dangerous tiebreaker cluster below the cut line. Their projected final record stands at 11-6, with a robust 78 percent chance of making the playoffs. They also have a 13 percent shot at overtaking Denver for the AFC West title.</p><p>Realistically, a division crown remains unlikely. The Broncos sit at 11-2 and are steamrolling toward a top-two seed. On the flip side, the Chargers have achieved what matters most: they now control their own destiny in the Wild Card race. Their 6-3 conference record gives them an important edge over similarly desperate teams like the Bills, Colts, Texans, Ravens and even the Chiefs.</p><p>The climb isn’t over, though. The Chargers’ remaining schedule is brutal: trips to Kansas City and Dallas, a home clash with the Texans, and a road finale at Denver. Simply going 2-2 in that stretch may be enough to secure a postseason berth. However, anything less will reopen the door for Wild Card challengers.</p><p>Herbert will need cleaner performances. The two fumbles in Week 14 nearly doomed the Chargers. The offensive line must also protect him better against elite pass rushes ahead. The run defense remains fragile, too, and that weakness could be exposed against the Chiefs, Cowboys, and Broncos.</p><h2><b>Thriller reshaped two playoff races</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/Eagles-quarterback-Jalen-Hurts-after-the-game.jpg"><figcaption>© Kirby Lee-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Week 14’s overtime battle delivered chaos and clarity. The Eagles remain in strong postseason shape but revealed troubling vulnerabilities that could cap their playoff ceiling. The Chargers overcame their own turnover woes to strengthen their path to January football. That said, they face a gauntlet that will test every inch of their resilience.</p><p>Both teams remain in the hunt but are also flawed. They now enter Week 15 knowing their postseason fate may hinge on how they respond to Sunday’s bonkers, exhausting, unforgettable finish.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
