Super Bowl Bound

J-E-T-S Jets Jets. Yes, ladies and gentlemen the Jets are the real deal. The coach, a rookie at his job, and with a quarterback that just stepped on the NFL scene 19 weeks ago. The Jets season is lopsided and filled with many bumps and twists in the road. The Jets season started off great with a 3-0 record. Sanchez looking like a seasoned veteran throwing for and average of 202 yards per game, and a 4-2 TD to INT ratio. Also, with the coach looking like a genius by moving up in the draft to get his franchise QB, and a absolute mastermind on the defensive side of the ball.

Then, as soon as success started, it was ripped away from them when they dropped there next three games. Everyone in the NFL was considering them not for real, and no one was predicting them to go to the playoffs. So the season went by and the Jets had two must win games remaining on there schedule. The feared Colts with a 14-1 record and the Bengals who had already clinched a playoff birth. Luckily for the Jets the Colts rolled over barely playing their Hall of Fame worthy QB in Peyton Manning, and having most of the backups start. So the Jets escaped that battle by winning 29-15.

The next challenge was the Bengals who also rolled over by not starting their QB Carson Palmer so the Jets demolished there competition in the Bengals 39-0. Then on Saturday of wild card weekend the Jets played there first contestant in the Bengals. Who just the following week they had beat by 39 points. The Jets beat the Bengals in a rather controlling game 24-14. Though the Jets pulling the upset of the 3rd seed in the AFC playoffs, but no one doubted the fact that they could. Then the next week playing the San Diego chargers no one expected them to win except their rookie trash talking coach Rex Ryan. So the Jets flew to the west coast to take on the number two seed in the AFC playoffs. Who had won their last 8 games and were hot. The game started off slow with 7 points scored in the first quarter by San Diego, but this is the game the Jets wanted to play. They knew there defense could make plays, and all they wanted was a low scoring Defensive battle. So in the Second Quarter the Jets got their first, first down of the game with the offense looking terrible the Jets went into half still believing. The Jets came out in the third quarter and got a quick field goal in the third quarter. Then in the fourth with the help of the defense and the offense coming to life the Jets scored 14 unanswered points to put the score at 17-7 Jets. Finally the Chargers answered with 2 minutes and 14 seconds they scored by a Philip Rivers one yard running TD to put the game at 17-14. After the touchdown the Chargers were stuck in a sticky situation to either kick away or onside kick. The Chargers opted to kick away. So the Chargers had to stop the Jets and not let them get a first down or else time would run out. So the Jets ran it three times then on fourth and two the Jets decided to go for it on the Chargers 35 and made it, and the Jets won. Next week the Jets face the number one AFC seeded Colt and are extreme underdogs, but in my opinion I think they will win with their defense and power running game, and a Cinderella team will make it to the Super Bowl again.
