KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Things couldnt have gone more differently for Jets quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick.The reigning AFC offensive player of the week for his near-perfect performance against Buffalo came back with one of the worst games of his career, a six-interception meltdown against the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday that doomed New York to a 24-3 defeat.Its tough, Fitzpatrick said. The NFL, football in general, is a humbling game. Every single week is a different week no matter the opponent, no matter how good youre feeling. We went out there and didnt play well today. Obviously, thats an understatement.The about-face occurred in a matter of 10 days.Fitzpatrick was 24 of 34 for 374 yards and a touchdown against the Bills, the fourth-best game of his career in terms of yardage. He was 20 of 44 for 188 yards against the Chiefs, and three interceptions came in the end zone just as the Jets were about to score.The awful offense wasnt only his fault.Running back Matt Forte, who scored three times against the Bills, was held to just 65 yards by a Chiefs defense intent on stopping him. Bilal Powell was limited to 30 yards rushing and had a fumble, one of the eight turnovers by the Jets -- just two off the franchise record.Brandon Marshall caught three of his 10 targets, playing through a slight knee sprain. Eric Decker had his only catch in the fourth quarter, failing to score for the first time in seven games. And emerging star Quincy Enunwa was a non-factor, catching four passes on 11 targets.All told, the Jets managed just 305 yards of total offense.We had a couple of extra days to rest and prepare for this game and we came out flat, Decker said. In a game when you get behind fast like that against a good team, its going to be tough crawling back.The other two facets of the game didnt help their offense.While the Jets defense held Kansas City to just 293 yards, it also surrendered 15 plays of 10 or more -- including a 42-yard reception to tight end Travis Kelce. And on special teams, rookie Jalin Marshall fumbled a kick return that the Chiefs returned for a touchdown.We missed tackles. We had trouble with leverage. We had trouble with minor things, Jets coach Todd Bowles said. When nothing works we got to change everything. It was a (lousy) game plan, obviously. By the execution and the score, it was (lousy). You cant point to one thing.But Fitzpatrick is at least pointing to one thing: himself.Ill take it, he said. Ill put it on me. I didnt play well. When I dont play well like I did today, then were gonna have a hard time winning football games thats just the nature of the NFL and the nature of being a quarterback.

INDIANAPOLIS -- Miamis fearsome threesome has suddenly become a one-man show. Its already cost the Heat one chance to reach the NBA Finals, and if they dont get things fixed by Monday, the vanishing act could leave the defending champs home sooner than anyone anticipated. Four-time MVP LeBron James scored 29 points, had seven rebounds and six assists, but Chris Bosh and Dwyane Wade couldnt even match those numbers together Saturday night in Miamis 91-77 loss that left the Eastern Conference finals tied at 3-3. Wade finished with 10 points, two rebounds and one assist, while Bosh added five points, four rebounds and no assists for the Heat, who will host Game 7 on Monday. "My rhythm seems off, its been like that the whole series," Bosh said. "Now I have to go and find it. Ive got 48 hours to do that." Perhaps Boshs poor showing in this series is Miamis decision to leave Bosh on the perimeter to try and draw Roy Hibbert and David West out of the paint. For the most part, it hasnt worked. Hibbert had another double-double with 24 points and 11 rebounds, while David West added 11 points and 14 rebounds despite playing through an upper respiratory infection. Wades late-season fade has been considered a result of his injured right knee. The perennial All-Star and two-time NBA champ wouldnt bite on it. "I dont want to talk about the knee," he said. "I havent talked about it for the last two months and Im not about to start now." Instead, the leagues most dominant team will spend the next two days preparing for what most people believed inconceivable when this series began -- a one-game shot to save the season. Hibbert did everything but pull out the boxing gloves in Game 6, continually contesting Miamis shots to help Indiana stave off elimination. Paul George scored 28 points, had eight rebounds and five assists, and the Pacers held Miami to 36.1 per cent shooting as they booked a trip back to Miami for Game 7 on Monday night. "Myself and David, we throw ourselves in the fray, in the paint. We like to muck it up," Hibbert said. "Paul and myself, we wanted to make sure we got this for him as well. We didnt want this to be our last game." It wasnt. The Pacers have pushed James and his high-scoring, high-profile teammates to the brink of elimination by punching back, and Game 6 followed a familiar story line. The Pacers had a 53-33 rebounding advantage, outscored Miami 44-22 in the paint and limited Miamis shooters to 16 of 54, 29.6 per cent, from inside the arc. How have the Pacers done it? With Hibbert controlling the inside after adding MMA training to his off-season regiment. "Roy Hibbert is making extraordinary plays in the pocket, poise in the pocket we call it," coach Frank Vogel said. "Hes getting paint catches and just having great poise, great reads. Hes not plowing over guys. He had a charge in Game 5, but has been under control." It was everything an elimination game should be. The teams traded baskets and jabs, sometimes literally, and players ignored the bumps and bruises of yet another wrestling match that has made this tough-guy series compelling. Both teams attacked the basket, sometimes with problematic results. Indiana missed about five dunk attempts in the first half and a series of short jumpers, too, costing them precious points..dddddddddddd The Heat struggled, meanwhile, starting the game just 3 of 22 from inside the 3-point line. Miamis Big Three -- James, Wade and Bosh -- went just 14 of 40. Excluding James, Miami managed only 16 baskets -- eight 3s and eight 2s. With Chris "Birdman" Andersen suspended for the game because of a shoving incident with Indiana forward Tyler Hansbrough on Thursday, the Heat couldnt keep up with Indianas big rebounders inside. Even Lance Stephenson, who was ineffective at Miami, finished with four points, 12 rebounds and four assists. Indianas loud crowd created a hostile atmosphere, too. Fans chanted "Heat Are Floppers!" sporadically throughout the second half, urging the Pacers to play harder, to defend better and to make another trip home. The only way to do that is to win Game 7 and avoid a second straight playoff elimination at the hands of the Heat. For Miami, the stakes were so high that when James was called for an offensive foul midway through the fourth quarter, he lost his cool. James protested by running from one end of the court to the other, drawing a technical foul, and when Miami assistant coach David Fizdale showed his support for the leagues four-time MVP, it drew another technical. George Hill answered by making free throws and Hibbert followed that with a layup, ending any chance of Miami making a late comeback. James said he was trying to avoid an ejection and would up spending the last 66 seconds sitting a few seats down from the Heat bench cheering on his teammates. "Explain it? You seen it. It was total domination by the Pacers in the third," James said when asked what happened to the leagues most dominant team on Saturday. "They made a lot of shots, we didnt get too many stops and we missed some very, very easy shots." It was a complete reversal from Game 5, when Miami took control by outscoring the Pacers 30-13 in the third. This time, against one of the leagues top offensive teams, the Pacers gave up only six points in the first eight minutes of the quarter, using a 14-2 run to turn a 40-39 halftime deficit into a 66-49 lead with 1:15 left in the quarter. Hibbert scored nine in the quarter. Miami did close to within 68-55 after three, but it was too big a deficit to overcome -- even with James running the show. The Heat rallied early in the fourth, taking advantage of Indianas 1 for 6 start from the field. When Mike Miller hit back-to-back 3s, the Pacers lead was down to 70-64 and when James scored on a layup with 5:54 to play, the Heat were within 72-68. But the run ended abruptly when George hit a 3, Miamis Joel Anthony was called for a loose ball foul on the offensive end and David West grabbed an offensive rebound and scored on a dunk to extend the lead to 77-68.
