Week 2 - Patriots Conservatively Beat Jets

It was impossible to not notice how the Meadowlands was roaring with Jets' fans. Having lost a close game to the Ravens in Week 1, the Jets were looking to rebound against the Pats. The enthusiastic crowd undoubtedly fueled the Jets' first drive, featuring excellent precision passing by Jets QB Mark Sanchez and solid running by the one-two attack of Jets RBs LaDanian Tomlinson (showing he still has plenty left in the tank) and Shonn Greene. With a spectacular leaping, hands-outstreched catch by Jets WR and 2008 Super Bowl MVP Santonio Holmes in the back of the endzone, the Jets quickly took a 7-0 lead. The lead wouldn't last long, however, since Brady found Welker in the end zone for a quick touchdown response, and with the Pats' defense subsequently keeping Sanchez in check, the Pats didn't mind settling for multiple field goals and stout defense with a clutch interception at the end by Pats' CB Leigh Bodden to seal the victory. It was not all good news in New England, however, as an injury sustained by Patriots young star linebacker Jerrod Mayo will sideline him for the next nine weeks (broken collarbone).
