Win In Indy!!!

Indianapolis - The New York Jets won perhaps their biggest game under the Marra/McGregor regime defeating the Colts 29-26. The win moved the Jets to 2-1 and dropped the Colts to 1-2.

The Colts were a disppointing 9-7 last season, but are still dangerous, offensively. The Colts put up 417 yards in total offense, but could only muster 3 touchdowns. The Jets defense played a bend but do not break defense. They did not force any turnovers but seemed to make a big play when it was needed, such as a sack or a stop behind the line of scrimmage on 3rd and 1.

Pennington played an excellent game, making the big throws and controlling the clock when necessary, including the game winning drive. With 5:25 remaining the Jets were down 26-21. Vanderjagt had just missed a 50-yard field goal that would have put the Colts up by 8. The Jets took over at their 40 and began an 11-play, 60 yard drive that took up 4:56 of the clock and was capped by a 3 yard Curtis Martin rushing touchdown. The drive was executed as well as it possibly could have. The Jets drove the field, used the clock up and scored a touchdown, followed by a 2-point conversion to put them up by 3, with 29 seconds left.

Pennington was 15 of 28 for 260 yards and two touchdowns. The running game still leaves some to be desired but looks to be heading in the right direction. The team started JP Machado (backup center) at right guard in stead of rookie, Quinn Christensen. Christensen had started the previous two games, and has not been as effective as the team feels they need from the position.

On defense the team was once again led by Cowart and Bailey. The two combined for 22 solo tackles and a sack. The Jets are home for the 2-1 Ravens next week. The Jets are favored by one point.

The Jets lost reserve fullback BJ Askew for the next 4 weeks with a strained back. Lamont Jordan will see some plays at the fullback position if necessary.
