EAST RUTHERFORD, N. Authentic Dylan Cantrell Jersey .J. -- Mired in a four-game skid and their playoff hopes dwindling, the New York Jets shook things up.Geno Smith is in at quarterback. Ryan Fitzpatrick is out.Now, Todd Bowles bunch will see if any of it can make a difference when the Jets (1-5) take on the Baltimore Ravens (3-3) at MetLife Stadium on Sunday.I think its an opportunity for all of us to go out there and try to get a win, Smith said. Were on a four-game losing streak. No one likes it. Its a bitter taste in our mouths.We just have to put together some good practices, build momentum up into the game and then go out there and just play recklessly, play hard with a reckless abandon and do whatever we have to do to get this victory.That was the thinking for Bowles when he decided to switch from Fitzpatrick , who had thrown an NFL-leading 11 interceptions and just five touchdowns in the Jets first six games.New York ranks 26th in overall offense and is last in the NFL in scoring with 15.8 points per game and red zone offense with eight TDs in 22 trips inside opponents 20-yard line (36.4 percent).Hopefully it creates a spark, Bowles said. It gives (Smith) the opportunity to play. Were 1-5 and we havent shown any signs of progress on offense, so I made the change.John Harbaugh and the Ravens -- who have dropped three straight -- entered the week expecting to see Fitzpatrick, but the coach didnt seem too concerned about seeing a different quarterback.It wont change a ton, because I think the offense is going to remain, essentially, the same with what they do, Harbaugh said.It will nuance a little bit in certain directions. We didnt hear that until right at the end of practice out here (Wednesday), but we already put in some stuff that we thought would be more Geno Smith-oriented-type things.Here are some other things to know heading into the Ravens matchup with the Jets:HOWS JOE?: Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco missed the teams first two practices of the week with a right shoulder injury, but he expects to play.Flacco said his shoulder was sore and thought rest would help him be ready. He was injured during the Ravens 27-23 loss to the New York Giants last Sunday and didnt feel any pain until after the game. Flacco added that the MRI results showed nothing to worry about.Its possible, Harbaugh said, that Flacco could sit out practice the entire week and still play. If not, Flaccos backup is Ryan Mallett.Id say hes day-to-day, Harbaugh said of Flacco. In my mind, hes a go.BACK TO NEW JERSEY: A scheduling quirk has the Ravens playing in New Jersey for a second straight Sunday. Theyll hope to escape with a split after losing to the Giants 27-23 .Going there, coming back, and going right back -- Ive never done that before, receiver Mike Wallace said. I think it will be better for us the second time, because we know exactly what to expect, we know exactly how it is going to go. It wasnt a bad trip at all. We went on the train, and it was about two hours. It wasnt bad.NEW CREW: In Smiths previous start for the Jets in the 2014 regular-season finale at Miami, a 37-24 win, he completed 20 of 25 passes for a career-high 358 yards and a perfect 158.3 passer rating.None of the eight players who caught a pass from him that day is on the Jets active roster.Eric Decker is the only one even still on the team, but is on injured reserve with a shoulder injury and also had hip surgery earlier this week. Jace Amaro (Tennessee), Jeff Cumberland (San Diego), Zach Sudfeld (free agent), Jeremy Kerley (San Francisco), Chris Owusu (free agent), Chris Ivory (Jacksonville) and Chris Johnson (Arizona) are all elsewhere.LACK OF SACKS: The Ravens are expected to be without career sacks leader Terrell Suggs (biceps ) and Elvis Dumervil (foot), who had a team-high six in 2015.That leaves veteran tackle Timmy Jernigan and young linebackers Matthew Judon, Kamalei Correa and ZaDarius Smith to pick up the slack.Ill be excited to see those guys play, Harbaugh said of the inexperienced trio of LBs. I really am looking forward to it.The Ravens have 11 sacks this season, including five by Suggs and three by Jernigan. Judon, Correa and Smith have yet to collar the quarterback.GROUNDED: Since entering the NFL in 2008, Jets running back Matt Forte has 13,171 yards from scrimmage -- 8,962 yards rushing, 4,209 yards receiving -- the most in the league during that span.But after a solid start with 196 yards and three touchdowns on 52 carries in his first two games with the Jets, Forte has run for just 164 yards and no TDs on 50 carries in the four games since -- including a season-low 19 yards on nine carries Monday night at Arizona.

Clarke was injured while practicing on the Doha Golf Club range after the pro-am on Tuesday. The Northern Irishman arrived at the course on Wednesday hoping to start, but after hitting a few balls on the practice putting green Clarke advised officials he was not fit to play.Rory McIlroy says all his hard work off the course is now starting to pay off on the course after he opened up a three-shot lead following the third round of the WGC-Cadillac Championship. The Northern Irishman, using his new crosshanded putting method, carded a flawless four-under 68 to move to 12-under 204 ahead of Sundays final round.However, he will need to maintain his solid form at Doral as he has some big names on his tail with Dustin Johnson and Adam Scott leading the chasing pack on nine under and Phil Mickelson, Bubba Watson and Danny Willett two shots further back. Im pretty sure thats my first bogey-free round of the year. To do it in a round like this is very pleasing, said McIlroy after signing his card on Saturday. Rory McIlroy runs us through his third round at the WGC-Cadillac Championship Ive been saying all week that Ive been making the birdies and Ive been hitting the good shots. Ive just been making too many mistakes. So to play the last 36 holes on a golf course like this with just one bogey on the card is really what I wanted to achieve this week. I feel really good about my game.My ball-striking, my driving, that really hasnt been an issue this year. Thats been where I wanted it to be. But my scrambling and my putting have needed work. Highlights from Saturdays third round at Doral, with McIlroy taking a three-shot lead over Dustin Johnson I feel like the practice that Ive put in over the last few weeks is really starting to pay off. Authentic Justin Jackson Jersey. Just look at some of the saves I had out there today and some of the big par putts - those were the things that were missing over the past three or four tournaments.And to be able to correct that and go out and play in a final group on a Saturday in a golf tournament like this on a golf course like this, and play bogey-free, it gives me a lot of confidence going forward. McIlroy strides towards the 18th green at Doral Theres not many positives from a missed cut [at the Honda Classic] but I made nine birdies over the first two days on a tough golf course in tough conditions. I knew the good stuff was in there. It was just about trying to eradicate the bad stuff, the loose shots, the mental errors, the mistakes.I didnt feel like there was much of a disappointment after last week. To be honest, to miss a cut and be able to sleep in your own bed, its not too bad. Gave me a couple extra days to practice, and maybe if I didnt have those couple of extra days, I wouldnt have found something in my game that I really liked to go forward with. Theres always a silver lining.Watch the final round of the WGC-Cadillac Championship live on Sky Sports 4 - your home of golf.
