"Jets coach Rex Ryan said he has Santonio Holmes' back after the wide receiver committed a bone-headed penalty in Sunday's loss to the Eagles.

Holmes drew a taunting penalty after scoring a touchdown to cut the Eagles lead to 28-9. He put his foot on the football and flapped his arms like a bird. Ryan said Holmes apologized for his actions.

"I'll say this about Santonio and every other player on this team, they have my 100 percent support," Ryan said on a conference call. "We're in this thing together.

"Are we perfect? No, none of us are perfect. I'm just saying that, obviously, you wish that thing never happened. I don't think it will happen again, but again, I have his back, he has mine and this whole team is that way. We just have to come out and fight for each other. We know it was a mistake, and we'll learn from it.""
