J-E-T-S Jets! Jets! Jets!

If you're a Jets fan, Pats fan, or even a Tom Brady fan, today was the day to put up or shut up. Since preseason football commenced, there have been back and forth banter about how one team is better than the other. Remember when Tom Brady was asked if he watched the show Hard Knocks and he replied "I don't watch that show. I hate the Jets"? Well, today's game was all about putting the money where the mouth is for The New York Jets and The New England Patriots. Let's begin.

In the first quarter, both teams were trying to find some footing and get the ball rolling. Things began to heat up towards the end of the 1st quarter as the Patriots regained focus and knew what they were after.

In the beginning of the 2nd quarter, the Patriots scored early with a touchdown, the Jets were on the move. Towards the middle of the 2nd quarter, the Jets came out of the gate swinging as Braylon Edwards caught a TD pass from Sanchez. Now we move to halftime.

Coming back from the half, the Patriots continued to glide past the Jets with Randy Moss' touchdown giving the Pats some momentum. The score was now 14-10. During this time, we learned that Darrelle Revis was taken out of the game with a hamstring injury. The Jets, however, didn't let this stop them and they climbed back to being down one point 14-13.

If it seemed as if the Jets were out for NE blood, you're right because the Jets continued with their amazing plays to take a 21-14 lead going into the 4th quarter due to a TD by Jerricho Cotchery. Dustin Keller would score a touchdown in this quarter to give the Jets a whopping lead of 28-14. The Jets would go on to win the game by a score of 28-14 breaking them even in standings at 1-1.

Today's game also showed the improvement of Mark Sanchez who took a beating last Monday against the Ravens leaving many to doubt his abilities so early in the season. Hopefully today's success can silence the critics.

Congratulations Jets.

XOXO,
