Jets Drive Bogs Down

On a third-and-9 from his own 21, Brett Favre bought time and Laveranues Coles turned his short crossing route back toward the right sideline and the two hooked up for a 54 yard gain.

Then on a third-and-5 from the Pats 20, Favre hit Chansi Stuckey with a low dart that was good for the first down. Snapping the ball before the Pats could challenge, Leon Washington picked up 11.

Now Brian Schottenheimer is running the ball at Vince Wilfork three straight times on first-and-goal from the 5 and the Jets got stuffed three in a row.

The strength of the Pats defense is the front 3. What point were they trying to prove? That Faneca, Woody and Mangold would blow Seymour, Wilfork and Warren off the ball? Yeesh. Jets settle for 3.
