Chargers Blow Out Jets 48 To 29

By admin Posted On September 22, 2008

The Jets fell to 1 and 2 after losing to the Chargers by a score of 48 to 29. The national Monday night football game did not have its shortage of mistakes. The Jets started off strong with David Barrett intercepting a Philip River’s pass and returning it for a touchdown.

The Jets lowlights include but are not limited to:
•    A Thomas Jones fumble that led to a Chargers touchdown
•    Eric Smith tripping in goal line coverage which led to a Chargers touchdown
•    Antonio Cromartie intercepting a Brett Favre pass and returning it 52 yards for a touchdown
•    Six Charger touchdowns
•    Dwight Lowery had a rough day in coverage

Positives? Not sure you can have any positives when you surrender 48 points.
•    Leon Washington had a great day returning kickoffs
•    The offense had lots of time to work together. They started the game not looking in synch but were able to get plenty of reps in the 2nd half.
•    Dustin Keller and Chansi Stuckey are starting to look like receivers.

The bottom line is the Jets have a long way to go. The made costly mistakes and didn’t come close to slowing down the high powered Chargers passing game.

They have a short week to prepare for the Arizona Cardinals. The goal now is to win and go into the bye week at 2 and 2.
