9. 51. Final. 6. 30

This may have been one of the more ugly games of the 2016 season, but that doesn’t mean that it wasn’t exciting for anyone watching their former Cardinals. Bilal Powell, surprisingly, was the Jets’ second leading receiver in their 9-6 loss to the Rams on Sunday.

Powell had one receiving touchdown, well sort of. Jets’ quarterback Bryce Petty threw the football to his receiver at the five yard line and he pitched Powell the ball, who ran it in for a touchdown. It was one of the more bizarre plays that you will ever see. I recommend that you go find it on NFL.com.

Powell finished the game against the Rams with 4 carries for 37 yards and 7 receptions for 52 yards. He continues to have a great yards per carry average, while playing being veteran running back Matt Forte.
