Week 15 ReboundVery nice job by the Jets today, winning their fifth road game of the season.
After the Jets' early bad start on the teams' opening drives, Chad Pennington and Laveranues Coles were fantastic, leading the victory.
Mike Nugent deserves props too, with four field goals, including a 52 yarder and a 45 yarder, both late in the first half, that increased the Jets lead from 17-7 to 23-7.
My only two quibbles are that the Jets failed to get the ball into the end zone on several long drives, and that the defense softened up way too early, almost letting the Vikings back in.
But that's the Jets - there's never a stress free victory.
Next week's Monday night game at Miami will be very tough, but the fact that the Jets will be playing an important game on December 25 is demonstrative of how far they have come from where they were a year ago.
