He threw one interception and finished with a quarterback rating of 7.6.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Through the Jets first four games, Smith has thrown for&amp;nbsp;922 yards, four touchdowns and five interceptions. He has also come under increasing fire after he&amp;nbsp;cursed at a fan&amp;nbsp;while walking off the field after a loss last week to the Detroit&amp;nbsp;Lions.&amp;nbsp;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The loss on Sunday dropped the Jets to 1-4.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;-&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;Brett LoGiurato&lt;/em&gt;\r\n&lt;/p&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
