Jets vs. Cardinals: Score and Twitter Reaction for Monday Night Football

The New York Jets (1-5) suffered their fourth straight defeat Monday night, losing 28-3 to the Arizona Cardinals (3-3) at University of Phoenix Stadium.

Entering Week 6, Ryan Fitzpatrick had been one of the worst quarterbacks in the league. He ranked 30th out of 31 qualified signal-callers in defense-adjusted yards above replacement, per Football Outsiders, and Pro Football Focus graded him 34th among its 35 qualifiers.

Fitzpatrick’s struggles continued Monday night, as he finished 16 of 31 for 174 yards with an interception.
