The Jets get pumped up for the game
FIRSTS

Jets' rookie wide receiver Wallace Wright recorded his first special teams tackle in the first quarter.
Jets' long-snapper James Dearth recorded his first special teams tackle of the season when he brought down Roscoe Parrish after a 55-yard Ben Graham punt. The tackle was also his first since 2004 when he finished the season with five.
With his J.P. Losman sack in the second quarter Jets' linebacker Victor Hobson set a new season-high in sacks with 3.0.
On the very next play, Jets' cornerback Justin Miller forced an Anthony Thomas fumble which he recovered. Both the forced fumble and the recovery were the first of Miller's career.
The Jets have now recovered seven fumbles and converted those opportunities into points six times (four touchdowns, two field goals).
PENNINGTON
With his start today, quarterback Chad Pennington recorded 50 for his career and 13 in this season. The 13 starts, ties a career-high set in 2004.

CAREER NOTES

TEAM NOTES

Willis McGahee's 57-yard touchdown run in the first quarter was the first rushing touchdown the Jets have allowed since the second quarter Week Eight vs. Cleveland (18 quarters, 290 minutes, 38 seconds of game time). It was also the first touchdown the Jets have allowed in the first quarter since Week Five at Jacksonville (eight games) and the longest run of the year allowed by the Jets.
