The Jets appeared on the way to a loss after the Browns took a 20-10 lead at the start of the 4th quarter but three players wouldn’t let them.  2nd year QB Brett Ratliff was great in this game as he completed 14 of 20 passes for 252 yards with 2 TD passes and 0 interceptions.  David Clowney caught 4 passes for 163 yards (40.8 avg) with 2 TD grabs.  The TDs were 71 yards and 70 yards with the 2nd one coming in the 4th quarter.  Rookie CB Dwight Lowery was the other player that refused to lose.  He returned a punt 62-yards for a TD which was the eventual winning score.  He also had 7 tackles and a interception.  The offense made the most of there time with the football as they rolled up 342 total yards despite only having possession of the football for 22:41.  The Jets need to work on the running game as they only rushed for 59 yards on 19 carries (3.1 ypc) in this game.  The Jets completed 18 of 26 passes for 283 yards in Cleveland.

The defense didn’t not play too well with the exception of Lowery.  The Browns rushed for 107 yards on 29 carries (3.7 ypc).  The Browns also completed 25 of 48 passes for 275 yards but the Jets did intercept three passes.  The Jets have a few things to work on and Brett Favre should be ready to go next week.
