Back in the day, Bill Parcells used to have a mantra for this time of the year, when teams are playing high-stakes games for playoff berths. He always told his players, "Don't be the guy that sends your team home." With a dumb mistake in a crucial moment, he meant.
The New York Jets could've had a few of those guys on Sunday. There were costly penalties by Rontez Miles, Jeff Cumberland, Darrin Walls, Buster Skrine and Willie Colon, who wasn't even in uniform. There was a fumble by Chris Ivory.
