The New York Jets played a really good defensive game on Saturday Night and they just had barely enough offense to win the game.  Brett Favre looked pretty sharp in this game completing 9 of 12 passes for 96 yards.  Kellen Clemens also had his best game of the preseason as he completed 9 of 12 passes for 83 yards.  But it was the other “Brett” as in Ratliff that pulled out this win with a 24-yard TD pass to WR Paul Richmond in the 4th quarter.  Ratliff completed 2 of 4 passes for 51 yards with 1 TD pass and 1 interception.  Jesse Chatman led the Jets in rushing in this game with 26 yards on 11 carries (2.4 ypc).  Rookie TE Dustin Keller was the leading receiver in this game for the Jets with 3 grabs for 43 yards (14.3 avg).  The Jets finished up with only 58 yards rushing on 22 carries (2.2 ypc) and they also completed 20 of 28 passes for 214 yards in this game.  The impressive thing about the Jets’ offense is that they had possession of the football for 34:24 of this game.

Rookie CB Dwight Lowery and DE David Bowens led the way for the Jets’ defense with 5 tackles apiece.  The Jets had a amazing 8 sacks against the Giants including 2 by new outside linebacker Calvin Pace.  The Giants finished up with 107 yards rushing on 21 carries (5.1 ypc) in this game and they also completed 15 of 27 passes for 115 yards.
