EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- The New York Jets quarterback situation is more muddled than ever.Coach Todd Bowles, who went into Sundays game saying Ryan Fitzpatrick is the clear-cut starter when healthy, backed away from that commitment after the Jets 9-6 loss to the Los Angeles Rams at MetLife Stadium.Bowles left open the possibility that Bryce Petty, who made his first NFL start, could remain the starter when the team returns from its bye week to face the New England Patriots.We will evaluate everything next week, Bowles said. We have time to evaluate it. Im not naming anybody going forward. Ill look at the film and see how Ryan is feeling, and go from there.Fitzpatrick sat out because he wasnt completely healthy, according to Bowles. He suffered a mild knee sprain last week, but still dressed as the No. 2 quarterback. Bowles informed both quarterbacks on Saturday he was starting Petty.I wanted to start, but theres a lot of things that go into the decision, Fitzpatrick said. Im a competitor, I want to be out there. In terms of how smart it was, I always want to be out there, I dont care whats going on with me.Petty, the fan favorite, excited the crowd with a 99-yard touchdown drive in the second quarter, punctuated by a 4-yard touchdown pass on a hook-and-lateral play.But after that, Petty failed to spark the offense. In fact, the Jets punted on seven of their final nine possessions. A potential rally ended with 1:52 to play in the fourth quarter, when Petty was intercepted at midfield. It was his only turnover.Despite a shaky performance (19-for-32, 163 yards), Petty said hed like to remain the starter.Shoot, I wouldnt be a competitor if I didnt want another one, he said. Same thing with Ryan. Ryan was upset that he wasnt playing in this game.Petty, a fourth-round pick in 2015, entered the game with only four regular-season snaps on his resume -- all last week when he replaced Fitzpatrick temporarily. The previous No. 2 quarterback, Geno Smith, is out for the season with a knee injury.Fitzpatrick didnt miss any days of practice, but he split first-team reps with Petty. Fitzpatrick, who signed a one-year, $12 million contract in July, has struggled. He leads the NFL with 13 interceptions, prompting the fan base to scream for Petty.Now the call belongs to Bowles, who must weigh Fitzpatricks health and the teams bleak standing. The Jets are 3-7, seemingly out of contention.Bowles bristled when asked if Fitzpatrick would start if healthy.Like I said, he said, well evaluate everything on Wednesday. Fake Adidas Jerseys .

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- The Kansas City Chiefs had no offensive touchdowns, and their defense was on the field for much of the afternoon.No big deal. They found another way to win -- again.Marcus Peters stripped Kelvin Benjamin with 20 seconds left, Cairo Santos kicked a 37-yard field goal as time expired, and the Chiefs overcame a 17-point deficit to top the Carolina Panthers 20-17 on Sunday.The game was tied when Benjamin caught a 14-yard pass from Cam Newton at his own 34. Peters ripped the ball from his arms and returned it to the Carolina 24.I took it from him. It was simple, Peters said.Santos fourth field goal of the day split the uprights, lifting the Chiefs to their fifth straight victory and 17th win in their last 19 games.This group has some character, Kansas City coach Andy Reid said. It doesnt mean you win every game but when you play like this you give yourself an opportunity to win.The Chiefs also put together an impressive rally in a 33-27 victory against San Diego on Sept. 11, erasing a 21-point deficit.Eric Berry provided a big spark, returning an interception 42 yards for a touchdown. Newton made a huge mistake on the play, simply throwing the ball up while under pressure.Alex Smith threw for 178 yards and Spencer Ware ran for 61 yards for the Chiefs, who managed just 256 yards overall. But Kansas Citys defense came up with big plays when needed.Things dont go your way sometimes, Berry said. You have to make them go your way. I knew there would be an opportunity somewhere. We had to make it count.Berrys big play helped the Chiefs (7-2) move into a tie for first place in the AFC West with the idle Oakland Raiders.Newton threw for 261 yards and a touchdown and ran for 54 yards and a score for the Panthers (3-6).The game turned late in the third quarter when Chris Jones sacked Newton for a 12-yard loss on third-and-18 at the Kansas City 28, taking the Panthers out of field goal range. Instead of making it a three-possession game, the Panthers were forced to punt.We cant take back-to-back sacks, Panthers coach Ron Rivera said. We cant have two negatives plays like that. You do that and yoou dont give yourselves a chance to win the football game.ddddddddddddThe Chiefs kicked a field goal to make it 17-6 before Berrys interception return and Smiths pass to Travis Kelce for the conversion. Santos third field goal tied it with 4:25 left.We didnt keep the aggression as a whole, Newton said. It starts with me as the leader of the offense to realize that every play counts. ... Its keeping the foot on the pedal and knowing that we have to finish.The Panthers had won two straight and were looking to get back in the playoff hunt, but remain three games behind the division-leading Atlanta Falcons and two games behind Tampa Bay and New Orleans in the NFC South.We have put our backs completely and utterly up against the wall now. There is no room for error, Rivera said.NEWTONS NUMBERSNewton established franchise records for pass completions and touchdowns rushing.Newton passed Jake Delhomme for the most completions in franchise history with 1,581 with a strike to Greg Olsen in the first quarter and DeAngelo Williams with his 47th career TD rushing.ODD STAT OF THE DAYThe Panthers had a 20-play drive in the third quarter that took more than 10 minutes off the clock, but came away with no points.WHAT WAS THATSmith threw a pass late in the fourth quarter that was batted up in the air. He caught the ball, which is legal, but then attempted to throw the ball a second time. At that point flags were flying everywhere and the Chiefs were penalized 5 yards for an illegal second forward pass.INJURIESChiefs: Cornerback Phillip Gaines left with a neck injury in the third quarter.Panthers: Kicker Graham Gano was forced to handle punting duties in the first quarter after Andy Lee injured his hamstring.
