REDSKINS 13JETS 10
Dispite the fact that the Jets failed to convert on a last second field goal that would have tied the game and sent it into overtime, the Jets still looked sharp, especially Brett Favre.
Favre, who recieved three different standing ovations during his first quarter of action in tonight's game, was on the money going five of six for 48 yards and a touchdown.
Favre looked crisp, proving that all the complaining and concern that he would struggle in the Jets offense was mute. In his second drive of the night that started at the 50 yard line, because of a penalty on Washington, Favre drove the Jets all the way down the field for the go-ahead TD. He hit Jericho Cothery in the flat on a key third down for 15 yards to extend the drive. Later, he hit Brad Smith to bring the Jets down to the five yard line. Finally Favre hit tight-end Dustin Keller for the touchdown to give New York a 7-0 lead.
That was it for Favre, as the Jets differed to Kellen Clemens, who was totally pathetic as he failed to move the Jets in his one and a half quaters of play.
However, it was the other Brett, Brett Ratliff who shinned again for New York. He completed 13 of 19 passes for 148 yards, and drove the Jets to the Washington two yard line in the final 1:09 before Eric Mangini elected to kick for the tie with :05 to go.
The Redskins on the otherhand looked awful. Jason Campbell could not move the Washington offnese as he struggled to avoid the heavy blitz packages of the Jets; and the backups of Jason Collins and Colt Brennon were no better. In fact, Collins was knocked out of the game after taking a nasty hit by Marques Murrell, late in the second quarter.
Still, the efforts of the Jets D was not enough as Colt Brennen hit J Goode in a freakish 33 yard touchdown to give Washington a 13-10 with 1:09 to play. Washington is now 3-0 in preseason play. They played an extra game at the beginning of the month, when the played the Indianapolis Colts at the Hall of Fame Game. The Jets fall to 1-1 in the pre-season.
Next week Jets vs. Giants. Brett Favre vs. the Super Bowl Champs!!!
