Petty completed 19 of 32 passes for 163 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 9-6 loss to the Rams, though he threw an interception on the Jets' final drive of the game.
Petty was making his first NFL start in place of the injured Ryan Fitzpatrick (knee), and while his interception was very costly, head coach Todd Bowles said after the game that no decision has been made about who will start in Week 12 against the Patriots after the Jets' Week 11 bye. Petty's touchdown came on a hook and lateral, with his pass going to Brandon Marshall, who then tossed the ball to Bilal Powell before he took it to the end zone, a fairly remarkable play given that it was only four yards. With Fitzpatrick's struggles throughout the season, it wouldn't be surprising to see Petty keep the starting job, though his first game after the break is far from easy.
