Jets quarterback Geno Smith's touchdown streak was not allowed to reach a full fifth game, as he was benched midway through Sunday's game against the Dolphins in Week 13.
Smith played just the first half of the game, and completed just 4 of 10 passes for 29 yards before being benched in favor of Matt Simms at halftime. He tossed his sixth interception in the last three games before being benched, giving him 19 on the season.
Smith didn't get off to a terrible start to the season, but he has slumped badly over the last month-plus. He has not thrown a touchdown over his last five games, while throwing eight interceptions and completing just 47.1 percent of his passes. It isn't clear whether Smith will have a chance to earn his starting job back in Week 14 against the Raiders, but it would not be a surprise to see Matt Simms starting next week for the Jets.
