– Good game for Marshall

The 2016 season hasn’t been as good for Brandon Marshall as 2015 was. Due to some struggles from Ryan Fitzpatrick, the Jets’ passing offense hasn’t been nearly as sharp this season. Marshall and Fitzpatrick were one of the best duos in the NFL last season, but they haven’t had that same chemistry this season.

On Sunday, Marshall and Fitzpatrick began to regain some of that chemistry. While the matchup against Richard Sherman was not an easy one, Marshall totaled four receptions, 89 receiving yards, and one receiving touchdown.

With Eric Decker out, it is very important for Marshall to be an elite wide receiver for the Jets in his absence. If Marshall is able to bring attention to himself, the Jets’ passing offense can survive with some of their young wide receivers.

While it was a good game for Marshall, it still wasn’t nearly enough for the Jets’ offense in Week 4. If the Jets are going to turn it around on offense, Marshall will need to play like he did against the Seahawks. However, he needs his quarterback to play better in order for him to play to his potential.
