NFL – New York Jets defeat the New England Patriots

We are experiencing his second year as a pro, and despite many commentators and sports analyst might keep down their expectations when it comes to the Jet’s second year quarterback Mark Sanchez, one thing is certain: he is got what it takes to really bring down a winning game. But is he consistent? He was key in this week’s 28-14 win over the New England Patriots, and whether you like the kid or not, you must admit that he did outplay no other then Tom Brady last Sunday. So sure, he is key to this comeback for the Jets, but heck, he is also a bit responsible for what happened last week.

Things are looking swell for the New York Jets, particularly after the team’s season opening performance against the Baltimore Ravens in the first NFL Monday Night game in the current season. And boy, where they disappointed after this first lost. The Ravens won their sixth consecutive game against the New York Jets, and all though it was a small margin, the Ravens’ defense kept the Jets to a very low 176 yards, six first downs, and managed to keep Sanchez under the 74 passing yard mark.

The New York Jets’ quarterback came in for a career-high 21 passes on 30 attempts passing for 220 yards with 3 touchdown passes via Braylon Edwards, Jerricho Cotchery and Dustin Keller.

This was some sort of a closing for what had been a very tumultuous week. Not only the Jets’ a 1 point loss against the Ravens in a game where the Jets were a -1.5 point favorite on the spread, but also because the Jet’s players were involved in a scandal in which the NFL commissioner Roger Goodell had to initiate an investigation in regards to the treatment that a female reporter, Ines Sainz from TV Azteca, received while she was performing some interviews.

But that’s a different story. Here is what matters, the Pats went home with their first defeat of the season, and despite Brady trying to put on a late show comeback, all he was able to bring onto him was two interceptions. Now, when it comes to betting on the NFL, here are a couple of interesting notes. The Jets were a
