Jets Rule Everything Around Me!

What a way to start a Sunday off by bleeding green...gang green that is. This afternoon viewers were treated to  a game between the New York Jets and Detroit Lions. After a crippling loss last week for the Jets, we fans couldn't bear another loss, let alone a loss at home. Let's dig in to see if gang green held on to infect the competition.

In the first quarter, the Lions came out roaring, yes roaring...stay with me, as Stafford threw a 10 yard pass to Pettigrew to give the Lions a 7-0 lead. The quarter was not kind to the Jets as they couldn't find their footing. The players and the fans just wanted it to be over. We asked and our wish was granted. On to the 2nd quarter.

In the 2nd, our very own Nick Folk kicked a pretty FG and the Jets were on board 7-3. The quarter wouldn't be over until Braylon Edwards scored on a B-E-A-utiful 74 yeard pass from Sanchez. The Jets finally had the lead at 10-7. HALFTIME!

Coming back for the half, it seemed as if the Lions found their inner Leos and were out to kill their prey. In the 3rd, Detroit was up 13-10 and once again, we fans asked for the quarter to be over and it was granted. On to the 4th.

In the 4th, things became interesting. Detroit managed to score a TD and took control to lead 20-10. Then the Jets came back to score and the game became 20-17. Now, here comes the magic, with nearly nothing left on the clock, Nick Folk kicked a sweet FG to tie the game 20-20...OVERTIME!

How's your heart so far readers? Is it beating back and forth? Are you biting your nails? Well if you were watching the game I was watching then you were. To finally close out the game, Nick Folk kicked a FG and the jets won the game 23-20.

I liked the way my Sunday kicked off =]

XOXO,
