Jets Win Monumental Battle At Foxboro

On a cold and windy night at Foxboro, a ball sailed through the uprights at Gillette Stadium and turned a monumental game into a night to remember for the New York Jets. In an epic battle with the New England Patriots, the Jets prevailed 34-31 in overtime and took a stranglehold of the AFC East Division. Not only did it keep all hopes alive for this season, by beating the Patriots the Jets finally put an end to what has been a nemesis to them for so many years. And now as a franchise, they can move on, to greater heigths and even bigger games.

This was the game that should seal their fate, and the Jets took every shot they could from the proud Patriots. And probably a few more. But they stood strong in hours of struggle, heart breaking plays and near defeat. They bended but didn't break. Brett Favre, the living legend, brought to New York for battles just like this one, put the team on his back and just wouldn't let them down. After Randy Moss tied the game with 1 second to go in regulation, it seemed like the Jets' long time rivals would once again hammer them in as cruel a loss as you can imagine. Yet Brett Favre, aided by incredible rookie tight end Dustin Keller and a gutsy offensive line, drove his team down the field to set up a game winning field goal by Jay Feely. A night that had many heroes for the Jets, all they can do is breath a giant sigh of relief and after that understand that they are now on their way to a special season. Special seasons take special efforts, and there were many turned in by the Green and White tonight. In these moments, just cherish the victory and move on, for the New England Patriots are finally left behind. J-E-T-S!
