CHRIS STREVELER

The latest on QB situations in Miami and New York, plus a rundown of playoff scenarios for the AFC East contenders.

Mike White is back at quarterback for the New York Jets. White was cleared by team doctors and will start Sunday in Seattle after he missed the Jets' past two games while dealing with broken ribs suffered in New York's 20-12 loss at Buffalo on Dec. 11. And with the Jets (7-8) still in the playoff hunt with two games remaining, they get their quarterback back. But the coach wouldn't go as far as to speculate whether White could be the long-term answer at quarterback. White went 80 of 129 for 952 yards and three touchdowns with two interceptions while starting three games in place of the benched Wilson.

While Lawrence sliced through the Jets' normally strong defense, Wilson couldn't get anything going and was booed frequently — all the way to the bench. Wilson went 9 of 18 for 82 yards with an interception and a dismal 41.9 rating for the Jets (7-8), whose playoff hopes took a devastating hit with their fourth straight loss. Things actually got off to a promising start for the Jets when Quinnen Williams strip-sacked Lawrence on the Jaguars' third play from scrimmage. On fourth-and-4, Streveler completed a 4-yard pass to Garrett Wilson and he led the Jets to the Jaguars 13. Instead, Lawrence — who lost 26-21 to Wilson and the Jets last season — and the Jaguars maintained control.

Trevor Lawrence leaped for a touchdown and the Jacksonville Jaguars continued their push toward the playoffs with their third straight victory, 19-3 over an embarrassed Zach Wilson and the New York Jets on a rainy, windy night.

Week 16 of the NFL season kicked off with the Jaguars defeating the Jets on Thursday Night Football. Here are the top plays!

Zach Wilson dropped back, the Jacksonville Jaguars sniffed out a screen, and Wilson sidearmed it into the ground. With every poor offensive play, Jets fans voiced their displeasure. 1 pick — seriously, that happened — and it didn't seem so bad that the Jets had to settle for Wilson at No. Wilson gets benchedThe difference in the Jets offense when Streveler came in the game was unmistakable. The Jets were putrid on offense, Lawrence looked good enough and the Jets weren't going to score enough to make it a game.

For the New York Jets, he's mostly a gadget quarterback who can run it a bit. Against the Jacksonville Jaguars, the Jets decided that after almost three full quarters with no offensive production, anything was a better option than Zach Wilson. Streveler was inserted in the game late in the third quarter with the Jets trailing 16-3. Streveler is mostly a gadget runner at quarterback, but he gave the Jets offense a little life early on. The Jets had three first downs when Streveler came in the game late in the fourth quarter, and surpassed that total on Streveler's first drive.

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — (AP) — Marcus Mariota led Atlanta to scores on two of his three drives in the Falcons' 24-16 loss against mostly New York Jets backups Monday night. He got wide open on Bryce Hall, who's competing with rookie Sauce Gardner for a starting job at cornerback, to put the Falcons at the Jets 9. But Mariota led Atlanta into the end zone on the next possession. He also led the Jets with 33 yards rushing on six carries. The next drive featured five more penalties — four on the Falcons, with one declined — and Atlanta settled for a 30-yard field goal.

The Cowboys' ensuing drive quickly fizzled, giving the Cardinals enough time to drive downfield and set up Prater's game-winning kick. It was the first preseason game for the Cardinals and second for the Cowboys, who lost to the Steelers 16-3 in the Hall of Fame game last week. Most of the stars from both teams — including Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray and Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott — didn't play on Friday. Eno Benjamin ran for a 6-yard touchdown to give the Cardinals a 10-3 late in the second quarter. The Cardinals host the Chiefs in a preseason game on Aug. 20.

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Robert Woods, left, catches a pass against Arizona Cardinals middle linebacker Jordan Hicks (58) during the first half of an NFL football game in Inglewood, Calif., Sunday, Jan. 3, 2021. It ended with the inexperienced quarterback fearlessly leading the Los Angeles Rams back to the playoffs. And though Wolford capably did his part, everybody in the Rams' jubilant locker room realized they owed this achievement to a dominant defense that scored as many points as the Rams' offense — and a couple more than the Arizona Cardinals — in Los Angeles' 18-7 victory Sunday. Wolford passed for 231 yards and rushed for 56 more, producing many moments of excitement in place of injured Jared Goff. Wolford racked up 47 yards rushing in the first half — more than Goff managed in any game of his five-year career.

Washington (1-1) finally scored a touchdown with 12:20 left in the fourth quarter when Dwayne Haskins hit Terry McLaurin for a 24-yard score. The Cardinals' revamped defense had a big day, holding Washington scoreless until Dustin Hopkins hit a 24-yard field goal late in the third quarter. Murray's pass into coverage was picked off by Landon Collins, giving Washington great field position at the Arizona 19. He was completely alone in the back of the end zone on third down and Murray hit him for the 4-yard score to make it 7-0. ...
