Jets Win Again; Improve to 4-3

Jets win again after epic comeback

The NY Jets are now 4-3 after defeating the San Diego Chargers this past Sunday 27-21. The faced an early scare as they trailed by over ten points, but the team played together and came up with an impressive victory.

During the third quarter, NY was down 21-10. This was partly due to the fact that the ref had called back a touch down they had scored in the first quarter. It looked like it was going to be a game lost thanks to the ref. However, the Jets are better than that, and they proved it.

They slowly but surely came back, scoring to make it 21-17, then 24-17, and finally adding a three point field goal to cement the victory with a score of 27-21. It was well-deserved in the end and the boys finally showed hope of a revival.

The started out with a 2-0 record, then lost three straight. Now they have won two games in a row and boast a 4-3 record. The Bills and Patriots still have a better record but there is still hope for the NY outfit. The Pats are 5-1 while the Bills are 4-2.

The Jets travel to Buffalo in two weeks for their game during Week 9 as Week 8 is their Bye week. If the Jets win that game, they will improve to 5-3 while the Bills will drop to 4-3. It will be a very important match-up for NY.

Ironically, the week after the Bills, the Jets will get their rematch against the Pats at home, who narrowly defeated them 30-21 in New England on October 9th.

The importance of these two games cannot be stressed enough. They are both in the Jets division and it is about more than bragging rights. The Jets need to win both games to fight for the lead in the division.

Brady is playing extremely well for his Patriots and the Bills are experiencing a few lows especially after losing out to the Giants a week ago. Sanchez needs to throw good TD passes and the rest of his crew need to step up their game big time.

New York has a rough division and there is no doubt about that. Sure the Miami Dolphins are having a bad year this season, but the Bills and Pats are no walk in the park. If the Jets want to make the wildcard/play-offs, they need to come up with victories against two of their fiercest rivals.

They have a week to practice, relax, and mentally prepare for the Bills. This is their one and only bye week of the season so they should use it well. If there is a good game to watch next Sunday, it is certainly the one from Buffalo between the Bills and NY Jets. Enjoy the game, stay tuned.
