Mark Sanchez Carries the NY Jets to a Huge Victory
Wow, what a turnaround it’s been in New York! Not only does the team have a new coach, a new rookie QB, some new role players, and more, but the entire team looks completely revitalized in a way like I’ve never seen it before.
The Jets looked great during the first week of football, with a big win in Houston over the Texans. Rookie QB Matt Sanchez looked like he’s NFL ready in their first game. This was very exciting.
After winning a strong season opener in week 1 against the Texans in Houston, the Jets came back home as the underdogs against the Patriots, armed with a healthy Tom Brady. This was a huge test for NY and they came ready.
The New York Jets were prepared to show New England that a new team was in the building. The defense absolutely shut down the Pats’ offense. Tom Brady had his first game without throwing a TD in almost four years, and lost his first game during the regular season since the end of the 2006 season.
Rex Ryan knew what needed to be done. Pressure Tom Brady! This is exactly what they did and he was completely shut down.
Personally, I’ve never seen a Jets defensive unit that looked this great. I know that Rex Ryan gets all of the credit in Baltimore for what he did with the Ravens defense, but I never fully believed it. Now I’m starting to see that he’s for real, as is rookie QB Mark Sanchez.
He’s bringing the Ravens mentality to New York and the Ravens have a championship because of the success in defense they’ve had.
My hat goes off to the Jets for a huge win. This shows, if they can beat Tom Brady and the Patriots, they can defeat any team on any given Sunday.
