The Jets got a good effort out of their offense last night and that’s the reason why they are in first place in the AFC East now.  Brett Favre had a solid game completing 26 of 33 passes for 258 yards with 2 TD passes and 0 interceptions.  Favre protected the ball well in this game and he made some big time throws to seal the win.  Thomas Jones had another solid game rushing for 104 yards on 30 carries (3.5 ypc) with 1 TD run.  Jerricho Cotchery made probably the best catch I have ever seen in this football game and he finished with 5 grabs for 87 yards (17.4 avg) with a TD grab to lead the way for the Jets.  Rookie TE Dustin Keller had another solid game catching 8 passes for 87 yards (10.9 avg) as he is emerging as one of Brett Favre’s favorite targets.  RB/KR Leon Washington had another stellar game as he was a big key to this win for the Jets.  He returned 4 kickoffs for 177 yards (44.3 avg) including one that he returned 92 yards for a TD.  He also carried the ball 5 times for 18 yards (3.6 ypc) and he caught 2 passes for 17 yards including a TD.  The Jets finished up with 140 yards rushing on 39 carries (3.6 ypc) and they also completed 26 of 33 passes for 235 yards.  The Jets possessed the football for a stunning 39:18 of this football game and they needed every second of it to hold off the Patriots.

Linebacker Eric Barton had a superhuman effort against the Patriots last night as he led the Jets with 17 tackles and he forced a fumble.  Still, the Patriots rolled up 125 yards rushing on 25 carries (5.0 ypc) and they also completed 30 of 51 passes for 386 yards.  This was a huge win for the Jets.
