JETS 26BROWNS 20
It will go down as a classic game that will be talked about for years to come. With 23 seconds left in overtime, the Jets pulled out a amazing victory when Santonio Holmes hauled in a Mark Sanchez pass and sprinted down the sideline for a 37 yard game winning score.
The win puts the Jets at 7-2 on the season, and has since risen debate about how good these New York Jets really are. Are they lucky?
The Jets had their chances to win the game in regulation. After completing a 10 minute drive in the third quarter, Nick Folk missed a cheap shot field goal that would have given New York a ten point lead, but it didn't happen.
Late in the fourth quarter, the Browns marched down the field to tie, when rookie Colt McCoy hit Mohammad Masoquai for a 7 yard touchdown to tie it.
The Browns had a shot to win it in the OT, but former Jet Chansi Stuckey fumbled the ball down the sideline as he made his move for the Jets 35 yard line. The Jets recovered, and drove down the field for another Nick Folk missed field goal.
The Jets lucked out near the end of OT, when Mark Sanchez's pass was intercepted at the Browns two yard line, giving the Cleveland the ball in horrible field position. If only the corner had knocked it down, it would have given the Browns a better shot at driving down the field to win it.
