Jets WR Who Fumbled on ‘MNF’ Released Before Cowboys Game

Key Points:

• Jets cut WR/KR Isaiah Williams after MNF fumble vs. Dolphins sparks costly touchdown.
• Xavier Gipson was also released after Week 1 fumble led to Steelers comeback win.
• Coach Aaron Glenn stands firm: "You will not be on the field if you cause us to lose games."
• Jets face Cowboys next as accountability theme defines Glenn, GM Darren Mougey’s first season.

The New York Jets aren't the type of team that can afford to make special teams mistakes. However, that's exactly what they've done so far, and it's part of the reason they're 0-4.

For example, former Jets wide receiver/kick returner Xavier Gipson lost a fumble on a kickoff return in the fourth quarter of their Week 1 matchup with the Pittsburgh Steelers. New York was up 26-24 at the time, but Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers threw a touchdown pass two plays later, putting his team up 31-26. Pittsburgh ultimately won 34-32.

The Jets cut Gipson after the game, but that didn't stop their fumbling woes. They went into halftime against the Miami Dolphins down 10-3 on "Monday Night Football" in Week 4, but wide receiver/kick returner Isaiah Williams lost a fumble on the kickoff to open the second half. That led to a Dolphins touchdown, putting them up 17-3. New York lost 27-21.

However, the Jets are staying consistent with their accountability, via ESPN's Rich Cimini.
