5 reasons Jets escaped game at Dallas Cowboys with 19-16 win

Entering Sunday's play, NY was a half-game ahead of Pittsburgh and Kansas City - both 8-5 in the race for the AFC's two wild-card spots.

Bullock, who converted two of three field goals, atoned for an earlier missed PAT and a failed 45-yard field goal.

After sneaking for a 2-yard first down, Fitzpatrick hit Kenbrell Thompkins with a 43-yard pass to set up Bullock's eventual game-winner.

"There's going to be adversity throughout the game and I thought that was just a great sign for us just to show the belief is always there", said Fitzpatrick, who suffered a gash on the bridge of his nose that was glued shut instead of stitched.

Moore went 15 of 25 for 158 yards with the 10-yard touchdown to Bryant to put the Cowboys up 10-9 at halftime. He had four grabs for a team-high 74 yards. In the fourth, Eric Decker scored on 3-yard touchdown pass from Ryan Fitzpatrick.

The Jets have AFC East rival and defending Super Bowl champions New England next week at home.

"We knew we were shooting ourselves in the foot", Bowles said.

While there are no official reports connecting Tim Tebow to the Dallas Cowboys, there have been rumors throughout the course of this season that the team may give him a try.

Garrett said the team would need to do some work before deciding who would be under center for the remainder of the season. "You've got to win the tough, gritty ones, and we've won two of those now so we're building some character".

Cassel completed three of eight passes for 37 yards and a comedic interception in which he was flagged for intentional grounding on a pass picked off by Darrelle Revis.

We didn't do enough good things to win, but we did have some good things happen out there.

Garrett did not commit to Moore starting next week at Buffalo. Cowboys RB Darren McFadden had 100 yards on 16 carries — his fifth 100-yard game of the season....

Moore is the fourth Dallas quarterback this season after Tony Romo twice broke his left collarbone. Dallas had 133. Cowboys receiver Dez Bryant (four catches for 50 yards) had the team's lone touchdown.

The Jets were losing 10-9 at the half and 13-9 at the end of the third quarter. Aside from the Bilal Powell TD, the first half was pretty uneventful from the Jets' perspective.

Breitbart Sports' Dan Leberfeld was on hand in the Jets locker room in AT&T Stadium after the game to record the wide receiver's reflections on the win.

The Cowboys (4-10) are playing for draft position with two games left. The red-zone turnover hurt us.

It wasn't pretty today, all of them aren't going to be pretty, but the good teams win the ugly games. "Playoffs or not, we have to string some games together". There are some scenarios where if some other people win out, they will go. "We're on our way to becoming one of those type of teams if we can keep it up".

The Dallas Cowboys had a bad night last night as they were eliminated from the playoff picture by the New York Jets in a 19-16 loss.
