FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (CBSNewYork/AP) — Wesley Johnson watched his quarterback writhing on the turf and knew it was all his fault.
Bryce Petty was sandwiched last Saturday by Miami’s Cameron Wake and Ndamukong Suh while throwing a pass in the New York Jets’ 34-13 loss, suffering a bruised chest that looked to be a lot worse at first. X-rays and a CT scan were negative, and Petty will start Saturday at New England.
Petty, coach Todd Bowles and offensive coordinator Chan Gailey all called the play a “miscommunication,” but Johnson shouldered the blame.
