New York Jets – 19, Philadelphia Eagles – 45

While no one was terribly surprised the Jets didn’t win this game, no one really expected them to get blown out of the building.  Mark Sanchez (153 total yards, 2 TDs, 2 INTs) wasn’t too terrible but he wasn’t very good either, with his two scores coming after the Jets were down by four scores or more, and were balanced out by three turnovers.  Michael Vick (306 total yards, 2 TDs, 1 INT) won his second game after returning from a painful rib injury to keep the Eagles alive in the playoff hunt.  While it’s probably too little too late for the Eagles, it is good to see them continuing to fight and not rolling over like it looked like there doing only a few short weeks ago.

Dustin Keller (3-73) had the most yards for the Jets receivers, but it was Santonio Holmes (4-40, 1 TD) that led in targets, catches, and scored a touchdown.  Overall Keller and Holmes are the only ones even worth considering for lineups, but even then only if you’re desperate.

Brent Celek (5-156, 1 TD) ended up with a huge game, including catching a 73 yard bomb that got the Eagles into prime scoring position.  With Celek blowing up, both Jeremy Maclin (3-57) and Desean Jackson (2-28) ended up having very quiet games.

After stringing together a couple of good games in a row, Shonn Greene (18 car., 73 yards) returned to his normal 70 yard outing.  He still continues to get the vast majority of carries though, so if the Jets don’t get blown out he’ll end up with a valuable stat line.

Lesean McCoy (18 car., 102 yards, 3 TDs; 2 rec., -5 yards) just keeps on scoring, as he punched in another three touchdowns to make it 19 total for the year.  For all the things that went wrong for the Eagles this year, McCoy is one of the things that went extremely well for them, and he’ll be the centerpiece of the offense for years to come.
