\"graham_nugent.jpg\"<\/a>The NY Jets took the field on Sunday afternoon and saw thousands of Steelers fans waving terrible towels.\u00a0 Every expert said the Jets could not win this game.\u00a0 Most fans felt the same way.\u00a0 By beating the Steelers in Overtime by a score of 19 to 16, the Jets did what they do best.\u00a0 Shocked us all with their play on the field, this time it was a welcome surprise.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Hats off to Eric Mangini and his staff.\u00a0 At one and nine, this team could have easily mailed it in for the season.\u00a0 Instead the Jets played hard, executed well and improved in many areas that had been lacking in previous weeks.\u00a0 There were positive signs in every aspect (Defense, Offense and Special Teams). They switched up their defensive packages a little bit but the story of the day was execution and play calling.\u00a0 The Jets made tackles and played aggressively.\u00a0 Calling a flea flicker that saw Kellen Clemens complete to Laveranues Coles for 56 yards really set the tone for the day.\u00a0 The Jets were not going to roll over.\u00a0 Throw the records out the window, they came to play some football.<\/p>\n

The Jets offensive and defensive lines had been criticized heavily (rightfully so) this year.\u00a0 Thomas Jones did something running backs don\u2019t do against the Pittsburgh defense, he ran for over 100 yards (30 carries, 117 yards).\u00a0 The defense did something they don\u2019t do, they sacked Big Ben 7 times (Dewayne Robertson 2.5, Sean Ellis 2).\u00a0 Willie Parker was shut down and the front 7 on defense had their best game by far.\u00a0 The Jets secondary stayed with the receivers and even created coverage sacks as well.<\/p>\n

Kellen Clemens has only a few games under his belt.\u00a0 Along with that there will always be some poor decision making.\u00a0 Right now the good far outweighs the bad with him.\u00a0 He faced the top ranked defense in football and walked away with a victory.<\/p>\n

It was a big win especially for this coaching staff.\u00a0 They have lost a lot of close games, things clearly have not gone \u201caccording to plan\u201d this season.\u00a0 After Mike Nugent nailed his 4th field goal of the day, it was nice to think, even for just\u00a0one Sunday afternoon, that this franchise is closer to winning than it has seemed in recent weeks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
