Ready for a quarterback controversy? Kellen Clemens took a while to get his feet under him, but he almost led the Jets back in their 20-13 loss in Baltimore. A drop and a poor throw of his own cost Clemens down the stretch, and the Jets are 0-2. At least they didn't go weakly into the Baltimore night. If not for Justin McCareins' buttery fingers, this game would have gone to overtime. This performance won't make it any easier for Coach Eric Mangini to stand by Chad Pennington as his starting quarterback when the Week 1 starter recovers from an ankle injury.

Quarterback Controversy Afoot?
Bollinger, Jets Come Up Short
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 Rutherford.
Jets Procrastinate, But Get It Done
Justin McCareins' 11-yard touchdown reception with 5:32 remaining stood as the final difference, but it was his heady reach-out for a first down two plays earlier that kept the drive alive and set the tone for the game's waning moments.
