What better symbol for the Jets' season than cornerback's Darrelle Revis' collision with safety Abram Elam? Revis, going for an interception against Buffalo's Lee Evans, instead got a mouthful of his teammate and a great view at the Bills receiver's march to the end zone. That score clinched Buffalo's 13-3 win in the Meadowlands on Sunday. The Jets have now lost twice to the Bills and have fallen to 1-7. Their only win came against......

If a change in clothes doesn't help the Jets, what will? Despite looking snazzy in their New York Titans throwbacks, the Jets looked anything but sharp on the field in a 16-9 loss to the Eagles on Sunday. Some creative playcalling, including a reverse, got the Jets deep inside Eagles territory as the fourth quarter wound down, but Chad Pennington couldn't get the ball to Laveranues Coles on fourth-and-one fade. The whispers are growing louder......

Life's easier the lower you keep everyone's expectations. Bill Waterson once had Calvin impart that wisdom in the Calvin and Hobbes comic strip, and the Jets are about to find that out as well. Last year, Coach Eric Mangini worked wonders to get the team into the playoffs and created a situation where media and fans will be looking for more. Don't be surprised if the team doesn't improve upon last year's results. Many......

When Travis Taylor hauled in a 30-yard touchdown pass 2 minutes and 7 seconds into Sunday's game between the Jets and the Vikings, the New York sideline couldn't have been pleased. A week after being burned on big plays against the Bills, the Jets had blitzed, but the gamble hadn't paid off. The Vikings took advantage of single coverage and struck quickly at home. But that was the Jets' low point, and after the 26-13......

If a 41-0 loss to Jacksonville from last week doesn't motivate the Jets, what will? If they can't rebound against the woeful Dolphins (1-4), which opponent could cure their woes? These are questions the Jets don't want to have to answered after they face the Dolphis at 4:15 p.m. on Sunday. A win would even the Jets' record at 3-3. The game comes at a critical time for the Jets. They scored themselves some morale......

The Jets appeared ahead of schedule during the first three weeks of this season. They jumped out to an early lead and hung on to win, rallied valiantly to make a perennial contender sweat and answered early blows only to rally and win. In their fourth game, a 31-28 loss to the Colts on Sunday, they made the game's best quarterback look vulnerable and unsettled but still came up short in a house-money game. If......

The Jets can finally say that their season is mercifully over. The good news is that they ended it with a 30-26 win over the Buffalo Bills. The bad news is the win moved them to the 4th pick in the NFL Draft behind Houston, New Orleans/San Antonio/etc, and Tennessee. The Jets win was keyed by Justin Miller's 95-yard kickoff return late in the 4th quarter to take the lead. Ty Law, the lone Jets......

The image of San Diego's Ladainian Tomlinson burning former All-Pro cornerback Ty Law for a 25-yard touchdown will be a difficult one for any Jets fan to forget. But for a while, that pain almost was forgotten, as Brooks Bollinger replaced a slightly injured and mostly ineffective Vinny Testaverde to rally the Jets (2-6) to turn a would-be laugher into a nail-biter, as the Chargers (5-4) held on for a 31-26 victory Sunday in East......

Vinny Testaverde will get the headlines, but the game ball should go to the Jets’ defense, which held Tampa Bay to twelve points in the a 14-12 victory Sunday. Four times Tampa Bay advanced deep into Jets’ territory and four times the defense held them to just a field goal. For his part, Vinny was good enough. He completed 13 of 19 for 163 yards. Curtis Martin carried the ball 23 times for a......

After an opener that went as bad as one could have imagined, the Jets returned to looking like a half-way decent NFL team yesterday, defeating visiting Miami 17-7 in East Rutherford. Thanks to a handful unforced errors on the Dolphins' part, a shaky start eventually yielded to a settled down performance by Chad Pennington and company, who are now receiving "Blue Collar Worker" metaphors and accolades, particularly after a late 90-yard scoring drive that provided......

After an all-around poor performance in Week 1 in Kansas City, the Jets (0-1) host Miami (1-0) to open AFC East play at home at 4:15 p.m. Sunday. It will be the first look for many fans at new Dolphins head coach Nick Saban, who was smart enough to not take the job unless getting a larger share of the control over personnel. (Co-)Voice of the New Jersey/Brooklyn Nets Ian Eagle sees Saban as an......

One last must win game. That's what the regular season has come down to for the Jets (10-5, 3-3 AFC East), who again failed to defeat a proven great team yesterday, falling to defending Super Bowl champion New England (10-2, 5-1), 23-7 in East Rutherford yesterday. So buckle in for a week of "The Jets Don't Have What It Takes" stories leading into next Sunday's road game in St. Louis (1 p.m.), because that's where......

The seats in Giants Stadium, particularly, when the Jets are looking better than Big Blue. At 10-4 after a great all-around effort in a 37-14 win over the visiting Seattle Seahawks yesterday, we would think the Jets can relax as they coast into the AFC playoffs, right? Not so fast. In order to clinch an iron-clad spot in the postseason, they must defeat AFC East rival New England next weekend at home (4 p.m., TV:......

In a matchup we may see again in the playoffs, the Jets fell 17-6 to the league's hottest team in Pittsburgh. Gothamist can't help but like Steelers Jerome Bettis, who passed and ran for the game's only touchdowns, especially after claiming him off waivers early in the fantasy football season. Both he and Curtis Martin surpassed 13,000 career rushing yards on the evening. The usually well-behaved Jets were penalized 12 times for 84 yards -......

With three losses in their last four games, the Jets (6-3, 3-2 AFC East) travel to Cleveland Sunday hoping to build some momentum under backup QB Quincy Carter against the Browns (3-6, 2-3 AFC North). Even on the road the Jets should win this one, but it's actually somewhat intriguing, given the fact that no one will ever let the clock management issue die. NFL Films provided the perfect memento for those who felt schadenfreunde......

In their worst effort of the season (a few unforced errors against New England were understandable), the Jets comitted seven penalties, two turnovers, and added a missed field goal in a 22-17 AFC East loss to the host Buffalo Bills. Willis McGahee was an effective warhorse for Buffalo, gaining 132 yards and a score on 37 carries. Starting QB Chad Pennington did not return to action after the midway point of the fourth quarter, when......

Sports talk radio and water cooler discussions throughout the Northeast agree - if there's really any kind of instant karmic retribution factor between New England and this city, then the Jets would find a way to beat the Patriots (winners of an NFL record 20 consecutive games) in a battle of unbeatens and AFC East rivals Sunday (4:05 p.m., TV: 2 WCBS, Radio: 1050 AM WEPN) at Gillette Stadium in Foxboro, Mass. Not since 1973......

In a matchup between one AFC East team that plays its home games in the state of New York and another that wishes it did, the unbeaten Jets host the 0-3 Buffalo Bills at 4:05 p.m. Sunday in East Rutherford. (TV: WCBS 2; Radio: 1050 AM, ESPN) Veteran defensive back and last minute signee Terrell Buckley is being praised as a surprising leadership presence for the Green and White. Bills rookie receiver Lee Evans......

Today marks the start of training camp for both the New York Giants and the New York Jets. Both teams are coming off of disappointing seasons and are obviously looking for improvement. The Giants finished 2003 with a 4-12 record and in a four way tie for the worst record in the NFL. The Jets finished marginally better at 6-10 and with 8 less wins behind the AFC East, and the eventual Super Bowl......
