Jets Bounce Back, Top Vikings 26-13

The Jets came out focused, played a complete game and beat the Vikings.  It is the Jets third straight victory on the road.   Facing a Vikings run defense that is very stingy, the Jets opened it up in the air.  It paid off as Pennington threw for a career high 339 yards.  The offensive line gave Chad a lot of time and he made the throws.  Coles had a big game pulling in 12 catches for 144 yards and a touchdown.

Besides Chad, game balls would have to go to Mike Nugent who continued his solid season.  Mike had four field goals including a 52 yard that had plenty of distance.  Dewayne Robertson had a very solid game adding 6 tackles (4 solo). 

The defense played a good game and they were aggressive, blitzing often and had 3 sacks (Hobson, Barton, Mosley).  This win keeps the Jets playoff hopes alive.  They still need help to make the playoffs but it isn’t impossible.  Click here for more info on the playoff implications.
