The New York Jets travelled to Upstate New York to play their division rival Buffalo Bills Sunday and came away with a huge 38-14 victory at Ralph Wilson Stadium. The Jets rushing game was excellent Sunday. LaDainian Tomlinson led the way with 19 carries for 133 yards & 2 TDs and Shonn Greene with 22 carries for 117 yards. It was the first NFL game for rookie Joe McKnight who carried the ball 4 times for 12 yards late in the game. The Jets offense clicked all game and quarterback Mark Sanchez was the centerpiece who went 14-of-24 for 161 yards and 2 TDs. In four games thus far Sanchez has a quarterback rating of 105.3, 8 touchdowns, 67.3% completion ratio and the biggest stat, no interceptions. That is the single biggest change for Sanchez this year compared to last. He also sat out the 4th quarter and Mark Brunell came in to finish the game. Wide receiver Braylon Edwards continues his great play with 4 receptions for 86 yards and 1 TD. Tight end Dustin Keller has emerged as Sanchez’s favorite target and he was huge on Sunday with 4 receptions for 28 yards and 2 TDs. Last night my Wife and friends and I went to the Grasshopper off the Green in Morristown, NJ for the Inside the Jets radio show and autograph signing session. I said to Keller “5 TDs, 250 yards?” As he nodded and smiled I told him “keep winning and get ready for the Pro Bowl baby, you’re a Pro Bowler.” Linebacker David Harris and safety Jim Leonhard had 4 tackles and the team had 3 total sacks. Shaun Ellis (The Big Cat) left the game with a knee injury but an MRI taken yesterday reported no damage thank goodness. The Big Cat may be ready for the showdown this week against Brett Favre and the Vikings on Monday Night Football. The NFL recognized Breast Cancer Awareness Month where game balls had pink ribbons, players wore pink cleats, wristbands, gloves, chin straps, sideline caps, helmet decals and towels. The NFL will auction all equipment with all proceeds benefiting The American Cancer Society.
