The Giants are atop the NFC East thanks to their best offensive and defensive players, beating the Cowboys 37-34. Eli led them back from a 12-point deficit with under six minutes left in the fourth quarter and Jason Pierre-Paul blocked the Cowboys last-second field goal attempt. New York is now in control of their playoff destiny. more ›

A stretch of soft opponents could be the best thing to happen to the Jets, who face the Redskins in Landover, Md., on Sunday. They squeaked by the Bills on Sunday with the help of a late comeback and some timely drops by Bills receiver Stevie Johnson. Mark Sanchez threw for four touchdowns but otherwise had an unremarkable day—he completed only 48.6 percent of his passes. more ›

They didn't look great in the process, but the Jets kept their season alive with a comeback win over the Bills on Sunday. Mark Sanchez threw for a career-high four touchdown passes, including one to Santonio Holmes with just over a minute remaining. Still, this version of Sanchez is not close to being mistaken for the one that has led the Jets to four playoff wins over the last two seasons. more ›

If you're a Jets fan, then you already know that there's no substance in the world that can make last night's miserable loss to the Denver Broncos fade into the recesses of the mind fast enough. When Mark Sanchez is the worst quarterback on the field—not Tim Tebow, the worst statistical quarterback in the league—something is seriously messed up. And now this six-year-old understands the pain of fandom. His mother describes the video: "My 6 year old son, after being told this morning that the Jets lost to the Broncos 17-13. He was devastated (and none too happy when he realized I was filming him). Poor kid. Jets upset my son." Maybe the Bills will lose every game. Our only question: do you think he tailgates out of his Tonka? more ›

You know, the Jets could be 1-3. If not for a blocked punt and some fortunate bounces in the opener against Dallas, the Jets (who are actually 2-2) would only be able to boast of a home win against the lowly Jaguars. But luck is the residue of design, and the Jets have enough problems that they can't worry about imaginary ones. In last week's 34-17 loss to the Ravens, the Jets would have been better off punting each time. Mark Sanchez fumbled three times and threw another interception. After a promising start, the quarterback undid much of his progress. more ›

The Jets improved to 2-0 by demolishing Jacksonville 32-3. Credit the defense with this win as they recorded a safety, two sacks, four interceptions and missed a defensive touchdown by 1/2 a yard. Mark Sanchez threw two interceptions and two touchdowns. Shonn Greene rushed for only 3.1 yards per carry, but found the end zone. The Jets now head on the road for three-straight weeks, stopping in Oakland and Baltimore before heading to Foxboro for a showdown with New England. more ›

After two straight trips to—and losses in—the AFC Championship Game, the Jets are back for more in their third year under Rex Ryan. Mark Sanchez has played irregularly in his regular-season starts but has shown more than a few flashes of brilliance in the playoffs. Is this the season the Jets finally get to the Super Bowl? more ›

Mark Sanchez seems to be having a fun time organizing training camps as the NFL lockout continues, so maybe he'd like to help a hungry city out by putting some pressure on In-n-Out to get its act together and come to New York? He already, with coach Rex Ryan's blessing, got the beloved left coast burger chain to set up a pop-up stand at his Jets West training camp last month! more ›

Last summer, Deadspin reported about a little known quarterback with a penchant for sexting photos of his unit to certain former Jets sideline reporters; the report was met with a healthy amount of skepticism, and criticisms about printing innuendo and rumor. Of course, that story was eventually tacitly acknowledged to be completely true, lending more credibility to Deadspin. Now yesterday, Deadspin reported that they've been working on a story about Jets QB Mark Sanchez's alleged romancing of a 17-year-old girl. more ›

Boogergate! As if yesterday's loss wasn't enough of an embarrassment, CBS cameras caught Jets quarterback Mark Sanchez wiping his nose and then wiping his hand on backup QB Mark Burnell's jacket. The "pick" has of course been inspiring numerous puns on Twitter. Yuks include, "Mark Sanchez should avoid these picks," "the new dirty Sanchez," and, "Dirty Sanchez sure knows how to pick a winner. Brunell never saw it coming." You can see the video below, but if you really can't get enough "dirty Sanchez" action, here's the animated gif. more ›

Two weeks ago, the Jets were flying high entering a game in New England. One 45-3 loss later, they had the wind taken out of their sales. It showed last week in a pathetic 10-6 loss to the Dolphins. That game set NFL football back a few seasons, but it also set the Jets back. They have games at Pittsburgh, at Chicago and at home against Buffalo left. The AFC East is mainly a pipe dream, and missing the playoffs—it would take a loss at home to Buffalo—is an embarrassing possibility. more ›

Poor pretty boy Mark Sanchez. After a string of lucky wins followed by brutal losses, the Jets quarterback is facing the doubters, especially after coach Rex Ryan said he would bench him if needed. Yesterday, Sanchez said, "That’s always going to be Rex’s decision. It’s his prerogative. He says who the quarterback is. As long as it’s me, I’m playing my heart out for the team and I think the guys know that." more ›

Jets fans can be forgiven for a feeling of disillusionment after their team's 45-3 loss at New England on Monday. The game that may have decided the AFC East race has also created more than a shadow of doubt about this Jets team, which fell to 9-3 with the loss. Coach Rex Ryan, who buried the game ball in an effort to put the defeat behind his team, keeps saying the effort was "only one game." But the Jets have hardly looked like world beaters in many of their games this season, so is it really fair to call that loss "only one game"? more ›

If current reports are true, stud QB Mark Sanchez has finally found someone to sing show tunes with. Sources are reporting that the 24-year-old is dating ESPN journalist Lindsay McCormick. A source told Page Six, “Mark and Lindsay have known each other as friends for a long time, but have been seeing each other for a few weeks," but the even more reliable OK! quotes McCormick saying, "I guess I’m not being bold enough, but I’m not dating Mark Sanchez." The Post Chronicle also reports she said she could never live down dating a Jets player. Says the Texans fan. more ›

A few days ago, Randy Moss finally had the courage to tell Tom Brady what everyone was thinking: you look like a girl. And the nation's stylists agree! In a feature imagining NFL Quarterbacks with different hairdos, the Wall Street Journal shows a few professional stylists a photo of Tom Brady with a short buzzcut and one with his new, flowing mane. Stylist Rodney Cutler said, "Looks good, but he's trying too hard to be stylish. Relax." more ›

Last season at Giants Stadium, Mark Sanchez played his worst game of his career against the Bills. He threw five interceptions and the Jets lost in overtime. The Jets did manage to win the game "at" Buffalo -- it was played in Toronto -- but the Bills have a recent history of success against the Jets despite a recent history of stinking. This year, the Jets are good enough and the Bills are bad enough that it shouldn't be a problem. more ›

The Yankees decided to win in 10 innings against the Red Sox (the magic number for a playoff spot is 1), the Jets defeated Miami 31-23 in an exciting, sloppy game, the Giants had two turnovers at the goal line in their 29-13 loss to Tennessee, and the Mets pounded Cole Hamels to win 7-3 over the Phillies. more ›

Call off the panic party, the Jets have “saved” their season. New York scored 18 unanswered points in the second half to turn a 14-10 halftime deficit around, despite the absence of Darrelle Revis. The Yankees flushed a great chance to solidify their playoff position in their 4-3 loss to the Orioles. The Mets fell to the Braves, 6-3. And the Giants are not ready for prime time, losing to the Colts 38-14. more ›

Last season, the Jets finished one half of strong football shy of the Super Bowl. They were also one half of the Colts' starters playing from missing the playoffs. Despite all the hype of this summer, the difference between an elite NFL team and a mediocre one is not that large. Sunday's AFC East showdown against the Patriots will go a long way in determining which description best fits the Jets. more ›

As the Gang Green prepares for their game against the Ravens tonight, bombastic coach Rex Ryan continues to talk a big game (and presumably continues to give his epic pep talks). "Everybody expects us to be a great team, and we expect to be a great team ourselves," he told ESPN. But sports critics have a lengthy list of tips on how the team should accomplish that. Steve Serby of the Post says of a possible winning season: more ›

We all have our secrets: pickup gurus have their dating skills, In-N-Out Burger has their recipe, and Victoria's Secret has bedbug problems. So what is the secret Jets QB Mark Sanchez doesn't want anyone to know? He's a huge dork. more ›
