All it took was a little beard trim. The New York Jets and Ryan Fitzpatrick quickly demolished any thought of turning to Geno Smith by beating the Miami Dolphins at MetLife Stadium.

b) A chunk of Eddie Pleasant's helmet.
c) Ken O'Brien's starting lineup figurine.
d) "Witness" with DVD commentary, where Harrison Ford lives with the Amish.
