Kicking woes spell doom for the Jets
The “Big Tuna” welcomed his former team, the New England Patriots, to his new home with the New York Jets. Earlier in the season, Bill Parcells and the Jets came up short, 20-13, in his return to New England. This time, Parcells became very frustrated with his place kicker as John Hall went 2 of 5 in field goal attempts in a 17-13 loss.
On this Sunday, the Patriots and the Jets were battling for 1st place in the AFC East, and the game started out with fireworks. Jet QB Neal O’Donnell hit Wayne Chrebet with a 63-yard bomb for a TD. A few possessions later, Patriots QB Drew Bledsoe answered with a bomb of his own as he connected with Shawn Jefferson for an 80-yard TD. Later in the 1st quarter, Bledsoe hit Kieth Byars on a wheel-route for a 23-yard TD pass to give the Patriots a 14-7 lead.
After that, the game settled down and the defenses took over. Neil O’Donnell went out with an injury and Glenn Foley came in as his replacement. In the 4th quarter down 17-13, Foley led the Jets into scoring position twice; however, John Hall missed two field goals from 33 and 39 yards out, which potentially could have given the Jets the win.
Foley tried to rally the Jets late, but Teddy Bruschi sacked Foley on a 4th down to end the Jets’ attempt at a comeback.
The Patriots are now 6-1 on the season and lead the AFC East by 2 and a 1/2 games now over the Jets, who fell to 5-3. The Patriots will face the World Champion Packers next Monday Night, while the Jets get a much-needed bye.

Dolphins get a win!
The New York Jets seemed well on their way to their sixth win of the season midway through the 3rd quarter; however, Miami QB Dan Marino showed he still has some magic left in that right arm as he led the Dolphins to a fierce comeback to win their first game of the season.
The Jets went up 17-6 with 9:00 to go in the third when QB Neil O’Donnell connected with TE Kyle Brady for a 35-yd TD pass. The Dolphins countered the TD with a long drive for a 21-yd field goal to cut the lead to 17-9.
Then Marino got hot. He began tossing the ball all over Giants Stadium and he finished off their next drive with a 4-yd TD pass to Charles Jordan. Then Marino hit Abdul-Jabbar to convert the 2-pt. conversion to tie the score at 17.
Then on their final drive of the day, Marino connected with WR Lamar Thomas on two 25-yd pass plays to set the Dolphins up inside the Jet 5-yd line. Abdul-Jabbar capped off the drive with a 3-yd run to give the Dolphins their first win of the season 24-17.
The Dolphins will try to get back-to-back wins as they travel to Baltimore next Sunday, while the Jets (5-2) will host the Patriots next Sunday.
