Jets 'infuriated' with Lynch's sideline dancing

Getting blown out by 25 points is never an easy pill to swallow.

But for some of the New York Jets, the salt in the wound was watching Oakland Raiders running back Marshawn Lynch dance on the sidelines in the fourth quarter when the Raiders were up by 22.

"It irks my ever-living nerves," Jordan Jenkins said, according to Rich Cimini of ESPN. "When I saw it happening, it was infuriating. ... That pissed me off. I'm an old-school guy. I don't like when things like that happen. That was embarrassing, losing like that and having Marshawn dance like that.

"Great player, but seeing that happen, that should infuriate the whole team. It should infuriate everybody and we should have a good response coming into next Sunday."

While it's easy to understand Jenkins' frustration, Lynch has been carrying himself in the same manner for his entire career, so a solo sideline dance party should come as little surprise.

If New York hopes to turn around its disastrous start, Jenkins and the rest of the Jets ought to focus on their next matchup instead of dwelling on Marshawn's moves.
