Sunday’s 22-21 win over the Dolphins wasn’t the most memorable performance for the Jets offense, but for Robby Anderson it was one of his better days.
Anderson led the way for the Jets with seven catches for 116 yards and a touchdown. For his performance, Anderson is Jets Wire’s Player of the Game for Week 14 of the regular season.
Anderson said earlier in the week that he feels like he is a No. 1 wide receiver when given the opportunity to make plays. Well, Sam Darnold was certainly looking his way, as the quarterback targeted his top wideout 11 times in the game.
The 26-year-old wideout could’ve had an even bigger game if Darnold didn’t overthrow him on a couple of balls. However, this is a confidence booster for Anderson, as he has put together back-to-back 100 yard receiving games for the first time this season and only the second time in his career.
Darnold and Anderson have had a hard time getting on the same page this season. Anderson has not been able to get the football from Darnold as much as he’d like, but over the last three games Anderson has 18 catches for 303 yards.
For Anderson, he needs to end the season strong with his contract up at the end of the year. He is looking to cash in on a nice payday and he’ll need to keep playing well if he wants the Jets or any other team to give him a big contract.
