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 representative in the Pro Bowl, sealed the victory when he intercepted his 3rd pass of the game. Law finishes the season with a career and franchise high 10 INTs.

When the NFL first released its 2005 schedule, someone somewhere was happy at the prospect of seeing the defending champion New England Patriots have to play the upstart Jets twice in the season's final month - both Sunday in Foxboro, Mass. (4:15, TV: WCBS - 2, Radio: 1050 AM ESPN), and in a Dec. 26 Monday night matchup in East Rutherford.

As we mentioned yesterday, the injury occurred in the 2nd half of Sunday's 26-20 loss to the Jaguars. Because Jay Fiedler, Pennington's backup, also suffered a shoulder injury, Brooks Bollinger will start his first NFL game Sunday against the Ravens.

While playing with injury, Pennington led the Jets to two field goals to send the game to overtime. After both teams turned the ball over in OT, the Jaguars took advantage of an opportunistic Jets defense on the game winning play on a pass from Byron Leftwich to Jimmy Smith (as diagramed by The Times).
