Sammy Watkins had a huge game against Miami last week, making it awfully tough to sit him down against the Jets last night -- even with Darrelle Revis in coverage. But those who started him wish they had, since Watkins proceeded to catch just 3 balls for 14 yards.
Revis is great, and it also looks like he gets in guys' heads somewhat. Watkins had a couple of drops, including a really easy one over the middle. At one point, it looked like Revis snubbed Watkins' request for a hand up after an incompletion; a Jets teammate helped him. No friends on the football field! In fairness, he also beat Revis for what would have been a big play, but Tyrod Taylor missed him.
After nine games, only Allen Robinson gone over 60 yards against Revis, and only Pierre Garcon has scored. Here are the numbers.
