Henry Anderson has been a godsend for the #Jets pass rush this season. He's been excellent and is easily the Jets best acquisition of the offseason so far. pic.twitter.com/6hMDD5xvJa

Ertz put up another huge day in Philadelphia's 26-23 loss at Tennessee, catching 10 of 14 targets for 112 yards while appearing on 76 offensive snaps (97 percent), the most of any Eagles skill position player.

Green and Odell Beckham Jr.
