NFL – New York Jets take last minute win over the Miami Dolphins

The New York Jets second year quarterback, Mark Sanchez is finding his way into the top of the league. This is his second game in a row with 3 touchdown passes and if he can keep up his numbers, he might be able to lead the Jets into the postseason.

As of press time, the Jets are in a three-way tie for the AFC East with the Dolphins and the Patriots with a 2-1 record each.  At the beginning of the season, the sports commentators had talked about the very rough calendar that the Jets would have to face in their first three weeks. Well, they have come out with a 2-1 record and a very important 31-23 win over the Dolphins on Sunday.

Now considering that earlier this week Braylon Edwards was stopped for driving under the influence, it wouldn’t be too much of an exaggeration to say that he really came a long way and proved that he is deserved a little slack. Anyhow, regardless where you stand in regards to his irresponsibility, he had one heck of a game against the Miami Dolphins.

He began the game in somewhat of a temporarily disfavor, but he sure enough had his stuff together and began to shine on his own. Braylon Edwards opened the game with a 67 yard run for touchdown after a beautiful pass from Mark Sanchez.

He would then, towards the end of the game, secure a second big catch in the game. The Jets where on their third try and still had 10 more yards to go. There was little over two minutes left on the game. The Jets had to find a way to score and then defend their advantage to the end. And then he completed a 20 yarder to keep alive the touchdown drive that made it 31-23 for the Jets, after a 1 yard run by LaDainian Tomlinson.

Now, Sanchez is out there. Is he as good as they say? Well, maybe. He is still young, but he could turn into one of those few big names. So far, he has recorded 5 straight regular season games without an interception, and those three touchdown-passes in a two game streak could keep on going. His team needs him to bring on the best  he’s got.

The Jets have the offensive prowess to be among the best in their conference. What is a bit uncertain is how their defense can stand up to bigger, faster teams. If the Jets secondary can get their act together like they did in this game, there are fairly good chances that they are going to keep on with their winning streak.

The Jets will hit the road once again and face the Buffalo Bills. As of press time, the Jets are a -5 point favorite on the spread. The total for wagering  on the over under has been set at 37. Keep an eye-out for any significant changes on this NFL betting line during the week.

The Miami Dolphins are in need of a revamp, and their next game against the Miami Dolphins is a key game. It’s going to be the Monday night game, and if things stay as expected it is going to be a close one. As of press time, the Patriots are the favorite by -1 point on the spread. It should be one very interesting game.
