After a shutout of 9-0 at home, losing to the Green Bay Packers, the Jets got their act together. Mark Sanchez threw passes, and the offensive line, more importantly Tight End, Dustin Keller, and the Wide Recievers, Jerricho Cotchery, Santonio Holmes, and Braylon Edwards helped to the effort, playing outstanding football. On the defensive side, Cornerback Darelle Revis was great facing Calvin Johnson, who was given the nickname "Megatron."
This video, taken from the NFL website, is the highlight of one of the wide recievers, Braylon Edwards who caught a 75 yard pass from Mark Sanchez, enabling the Jets to take the lead before halftime. The score from
7-3, Lions became Jets were ahead, 10-7. Aside from this highlight, there were many others throughout the game which were simply miraculous. In the fourth quarter, the Jets were down by ten points, 20-10 with Lions leading. With 2 mins and 46 sec, left in regulation, the Jets were able to score 10 more points, sending this game into overtime.
The Jets win the coin toss, and have the ball in their hands, and on 2nd down and 10, at about the 20 yard line of the Detroit Lions, Nick Folk, kicked the winning field goal to end the game with the score, Jets 23, the Lions 20. This game, in my opinion, was a game to get the Jets back on track and to regain first place in the AFC East standings over the New England Patriots.
In the YouTube video, Edwards is seen going to endzone catching the 74 yard pass for the touchdown. In the endzone Braylon Edwards drops the ball, and makes fists with both his hands, and hits them against his chest. Then the replay, Sanchez is in the pocket about to be sacked, steps up with his feet planted and launches the ball deep and Edwards, who specializes in long range receptions steps up and takes the ball to the house.
