Thomas Jones ran for two TDs and caught a Brett Favre pass for his 3rd TD of the game in what was a sort of sloppy offensive showing by the Jets (Favre had two INTs and one fumble that resulted in a Bengal TD). But honestly, it was the perfect scenario for the Jets' defense to make a stand and show they can play four quarters consistently. The Bengals' backs were held to under a 100 yards, as were the Bengals' receiving corp, including Chad Oocho Dicko, who was not a factor in the game.
Brett did complete 25 of 33 passes for 189 yards and a touchdown, giving him his highest percentage completion of the five Jets' games he played."There were some throws that were in tight coverage, but you can't be happy about that one week and then be mad about it the other week," Coach Eric Mangini said, "Nobody is ever happy about picks. On the flip side, he makes a bunch of tremendous throws into tight coverage and that makes him difficult to defend," said Jets head coach Eric Mangini. "You want to go through the best decision-making process possible. He’s made a ton of decisions and a ton of them have been really, really good."
"It wasn’t our best performance, but it was a win and we did some good things. I give them a lot of credit," Favre said. "They took Dallas to the wire, they took the Giants to the wire, and they took us to the wire. We had one of those games. I don’t believe in ugly wins. I believe a win is a win and that one felt as good as any win I’ve been a part of in recent memory," Favre said. "I believe a win is a win." Someone asked Brett about his lower TD count this week as compared to the 6 TDs he threw against the Cardinals two weeks ago. Brett stoically commented he doesn't play for stats - he plays for wins.
NEXT WEEK: Jets 3-2 at Oakland 1-4.
