Jets Win in Overtime for Second Week

For the second consecutive week, the Jets were extended to overtime, but the circumstances could not have been more different. A week after orchestrating a comeback victory at Detroit, the Jets squandered a 7-point, fourth-quarter lead to the Cleveland Browns before prevailing, 26-20, on Sunday.

The winning points came on a 37-yard nfl jerseys wholesalepass from Mark Sanchez to Santonio Holmes with 16 seconds left in overtime.

Nick Folk, who kicked a game-winning 30-yard field goal against the Lions, missed one from 47 yards with 4 minutes 51 seconds left in overtime against the Browns (3-6), who had defeated the New Orleans Saints and the New England Patriots in their previous two games. It sailed wide right and was his third missed field goal of the afternoon.

A 25-yard field goal by Folk put the Jets (7-2) ahead by 20-13 with less than three minutes remaining in the fourth quarter, but the defense could not rattle the rookie quarterback Colt McCoy.

In his fourth start, McCoy came of age. He engineered Packers Jersey a 59-yard scoring drive that began on the Browns’ 41-yard line with 2:42 left in regulation and was capped by a 3-yard pass to Mohamed Massaquoi with 48 seconds remaining.

McCoy was 5 for 9 passing for 58 yards in the drive, connecting with tight end Benjamin Watson on a 17-yard completion on third-and-10 at the Jets’ 38 to set up the score and Phil Dawson’s extra point.

A week after passing for a career-high 336 yards,Saints Jersey Sanchez completed 27 of 44 passes for 299 yards and 2 touchdowns and played the fourth quarter and overtime on a tender right calf.

It was Browns Coach Eric Mangini’s first game against the team that fired him in 2009, leading to Rex Ryan’s hiring by the Jets.

The afternoon began inauspiciously for the Jets, who started Jets Jersey their first two offensive series in Cleveland territory and came away with only 3 points.

After scoring first, on a 34-yard field goal by Dawson, the Browns tried an onside kick that the Jets recovered at the Cleveland 42. The Browns had not allowed any points on their opponents’ opening series all season, a streak snapped by Folk’s 27-yard field goal.

The Jets had to settle for 3 points after Sanchez threw an incomplete pass to ex-Brown Braylon Edwards, who was being defended by safeties Abram Elam, a former Jet, and T. J. Ward, a rookie who had been encouraged by fans in the days leading up to the game to hit Edwards early, often and with malice.

Edwards earned the enmity of the city’s Steelers Jersey football fans by dropping too many passes in his four-plus years as a Brown, then holding nothing back after he was traded last year to the Jets. In an interview during training camp, he said: “There’s nothing going on in Cleveland. There’s no real estate. There’s no social life, no social networking. All the people who have something going on leave Cleveland.”

It did not take long for Edwards’s return to become the main event, reducing to undercard status the reunion of Rex Ryan and his twin, Rob, the Cleveland defensive coordinator.

In the days leading up to the game, Rex Ryan had taken theRavens Jerseyspotlight off Edwards by playing up his sibling rivalry with Rob. It was a shrewd move by Ryan, who no doubt recognized that Edwards’s emotions would be running hot.

Edwards was booed during pregame by the Browns fans, who were just getting warmed up. On the Jets’ opening drive, Edwards caught a 6-yard pass from Sanchez at the Cleveland 11 and was stopped by Sheldon Brown, who injured his shoulder on the tackle and was lost for the rest of the game.

A couple others had been in on the stop, and one, defensive Patriots Jersey lineman Ahtyba Rubin, took a swipe at Edwards, who retaliated in kind. The crowd began chanting invective at Edwards, who egged them on by motioning with his arms until he was calmed down by Sanchez, whose own emotions tend to be so transparent he is subject to fines for bad body language.

Edwards finished the first half with two catches as another receiver, Jerricho Cotchery, provided the highlight reel play with a 25-yard touchdown reception from Sanchez in the fourth minute of the second period on a third-and-8. The scoring drive, which covered 76 yards in nine plays, was an emphatic answer to Peyton Hillis’s 12-yard scoring run late in the first quarter that had put Cleveland ahead by 10-3.

Hillis, a third-year running back, was coming off a 184-yard rushing performance against the New England Patriots, and he gained 47 yards on the ground in the first quarter. He also lost a fumble, but the Jets could not capitalize, punting after advancing the ball one yard. Hillis finished with 82 yards rushing on 19 carries.

The Jets took the lead late in the second quarter on an 80-yard drive that culminated in a 1-yard scramble by Sanchez. It was only the second rushing touchdown allowed this year by the Browns, who were penalized twice on the drive, including a pass interference by Eric Wright that advanced the ball 27 yards, to the Cleveland 34.

Folk, who missed a 24-yard field goal in the third quarter, converted one from 25 yards in the fourth to give the Jets some breathing room.
