Jets rally past Titans for road win

NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Chris Ivory scored on a 1-yard touchdown run with 3:09 left, and the New York Jets beat the Tennessee Titans 16-11 Sunday in a game marked by a brawl between teams playing only for pride with the loser hoping for better draft position.

The Jets (3-11) got their first road win this season in the first NFL game to end with a 16-11 score. They also snapped a three-game skid.

Geno Smith threw for 179 yards and a TD. He also was apparently hit by Titans defensive tackle Jurrell Casey, starting a brawl in the third quarter. Casey was flagged, but not ejected.

The Titans (2-12) now have lost eight straight and 11 of 12 in their worst skid since 1994 when home was in Houston. They got the ball twice late, and reached the Jets 9 after three laterals on the final play came up short.
