For a guy who has spent most of the last decade as a backup quarterback, Matt Moore has an uncanny knack for intersecting with the New York Jets at pivotal moments of his career.Moore will make his first start in almost five years on Saturday night, when he replaces an injured Ryan Tannehill for the Miami Dolphins as they visit the Jets at MetLife Stadium.The opponent for Moores previous start on Jan. 1, 2012? The Jets, against whom Moore went 22-of-32 for 135 yards with one touchdown and two interceptions in the Dolphins 19-17 win.Its rare to see, really, to have that much time in between starts, because something usually happens, Dolphins head coach Adam Gase said Wednesday. This organization has been fortunate as far as having the same guy behind center game after game.Tannehill, whom the Dolphins selected in the first round of the 2012 draft, started the first 77 games of his career before suffering a left knee injury in Sundays 26-23 win over the Arizona Cardinals.Moore, who went 3-of-5 for 47 yards and directed the game-winning drive last week, has attempted just 35 passes since the start of the 2012 season. The bulk of those came against the Jets on Oct. 28, 2012, when Tannehill suffered knee and quad injuries and Moore went 11-of-19 for 131 yards and one touchdown in the Dolphins 30-9 win.I think Ive filled my role the best I could and Ive had opportunities to play and its gone well, Moore said. Im lucky Im surrounded with a great team. Ive got great guys on offense to work with.In another interesting wrinkle, Jets head coach Todd Bowles knows what its like to work with Moore: He concluded his three-game stint as the Dolphins interim head coach in the 2011 season finale.I have a lot of respect for Matt, Bowles said Tuesday. He hasnt played in a while -- obviously, Tannehills been playing good for them. Matts a competitor. I know he can throw the football and hell be ready to play.With Tannehill expected to avoid surgery but miss the rest of the season, Moores task is as easy as it is imposing: Keep the resurgent Dolphins (8-5) in the playoff race against the Jets (4-9), who are one of only three AFC teams eliminated from playoff contention.The Dolphins, who havent reached the playoffs since winning the AFC East in 2008, enter this week tied with the Denver Broncos for the final wild-card spot, though the Broncos enjoy the tiebreaker via a better strength of victory. However, Miami has gone 7-1 in its last eight games while Denver is just 2-4 in its last six games.Moore said he is trying to keep the same approach even as his job has changed.Ive talked to coach Gase more, Ive probably talked to (quarterbacks coach) Bo (Hardegree) a little more, Moore said. But nothing crazy has changed. Im obviously excited. Its an opportunity to win another game and keep us going in the direction were going.The Jets direction has long been established, but Saturday night represents a chance to get a little revenge on the Dolphins while finding out what they have in new starting quarterback Bryce Petty. Miami beat New York 27-23 on Nov. 6, when Kenyan Drake returned a kickoff 96 yards for the go-ahead touchdown with 5:15 remaining in the fourth quarter.Anybody in our room that doesnt think these guys kicked our butts -- and thats saying it nicely -- then somethings wrong with that, Jets special teams coach Brant Boyer told reporters this week. Hopefully we play a hell of a lot better than we did when we were down there.Petty made his regular season debut Nov. 6, when he played a series in place of injured quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick. This will be the third career start for Petty, who was named the permanent starter immediately after a 41-10 loss to the Indianapolis Colts on Dec. 5. He earned his first NFL win on Sunday, when he led the Jets to 17 unanswered points in the fourth quarter and overtime of a 23-17 victory over the San Francisco 49ers.For the Dolphins, linebacker Kiko Alonso (hand, hamstring), linebacker Jelani Jenkins (hand, knee) and defensive end Mario Williams (ankle) are questionable.For the Jets, cornerback Buster Skrine (concussion) and nose tackle Steve McLendon (hamstring) are out. Tackle Brent Qvale (hamstring) is doubtful). Running back Matt Forte (knee), wide receivers Quimcy Enunwa (ribs) and Brandon Marshall (knee, foot, back) and defensive end Muhammad Wilkerson (ankle) are questionable. Joe Montana Jersey . Tests earlier this week revealed a Grade 2 left hamstring strain for Sabathia, who was hurt in last Fridays start against San Francisco. Its an injury that will require about eight weeks to heal. He finished a disappointing campaign just 14-13 with a career-worst 4. Darwin Thompson Womens Jersey . LOUIS -- Alexander Steen scored a power-play goal with 59. http://www.prochiefsauthentic.com/Youth-Derrick-Thomas-Elite-Jersey/ . The nimble-footed quarterback got his wish, dashing through the snow and a weary defence all the way into the NCAA record book. Derrick Thomas Womens Jersey . "No difference at all," chirped U.S. roommate and linemate James van Riemsdyk. "Its still the same cranky Phil. Tony Gonzalez Youth Jersey .

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Just over a week after whipping NHL-leading Montreal 10-1, Columbus had its fans chanting We want 10! late in the second period Saturday night during another blowout.This one wasnt so satisfactory to coach John Tortorella, though.Sam Gagner scored twice, Nick Foligno got a goal and two assists and 13 Blue Jackets had at least a point, helping Columbus rout the St. Louis Blues 8-4.The Jackets demanding coach wasnt as enthused as the home crowd, instead calling out his teams defensive and physical mistakes.We shot the puck and it went in the net, Tortorella said. Its not going to happen that way that often. We need to understand how were playing, not what the score is. As far as the checking part of the game, as far as our sticks. A lot of the little things in the game. Were going to continue to work at that.Alexander Wennberg, Brandon Dubinsky, Markus Nutivaara, William Karlsson and Zach Werenski also scored for Columbus.The Blue Jackets rebounded from a tough loss Thursday night in Boston and have points in six of their last seven games (5-1-1), winning four straight at home. Cam Atkinson added a career-high four assists, and Brandon Saad, Scott Hartnell, Lukas Sedlak and Boone Jenner each had two.Foligno agreed with his coachs assessment, even after thumping a St. Louis team that played in the Western Conference finals last season.I still think weve got a lot to improve on in our game, he said. I didnt like some of our decisions. Its hard sometimes when you get up that fast. But Im not going to take anything away from the win. Its a big win at home.Sergei Bobrovksy, pulled in the first period against the Bruins, stopped 33 shots for the Jackets.Robby Fabbri scored twice and Vladimir Tarasenko and Kevin Shattenkirk also scored for St. Louis, which has lost three straight and five of seven.I think were in a spot right now where were a little dazed by the situation, Shattenkirk said. You look bacck at the last five or six years, we havent really had a run like this at all.dddddddddddd Its new to us and we have to grow out of it. Its not fun. Its frustrating for everyone.Jake Allen stopped eight of 12 shots and was pulled early in the second period. Carter Hutton finished with 14 saves.St. Louis dormant offense finally showed up, but its goaltending was a no show. Tarasenko and David Perron had three assists, but the Blues lost their fourth consecutive on the road by a combined score of 22-7. All St. Louis goals came on the power play.Were not competing at the puck near hard enough and were not firm with it, St. Louis coach Ken Hitchcock said. Thats a bad recipe. It doesnt matter what you do in the offensive zone if youre going to get beat one on one in your own zone.The Blue Jackets led 3-1 after the first period and 7-2 heading into the third.Gagner started it at 2:34 of the first, turning from behind the net and lifting a backhand shot inside the near post.Shattenkirk tied it three minutes later, finishing a rush.Just 8 second after that, Foligno put the Blue Jackets ahead, powering a snapshot off Allen at 6:43 for his sixth.Wennberg scored later in the first, and Gagner, Dubinsky, Nutivaara and Karlsson scored in the second for a 7-1 lead.
