Jets tipped their plays on Steelers’ goal-line stand (1/26/2011 1:16 PM)

Schottenheimer takes heat for slow drive, goal line play calls (1/24/2011 11:30 AM)
Jets fans watching their offense slowly move the ball the fourth quarter must have felt like they were watching a repeat of the Patriots-Jets game a week before. This time, it was the Jets offense that burned nearly nine minutes of clock time time without getting any points.  Jets offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer is taking…

NFL fan reaction: Roethlisberger, Mendenhall run past the Jets (1/24/2011 10:15 AM)
The number one reason to love the Pittsburgh Steelers is they win. The second reason to love them is because they win without any frills. The Steelers have never claimed to be "America's Team" and yet they have fans all over America (and are hated by a lot less fans than the Dallas Cowboys). The Steelers don't call their town "Titletown," even though they've won more Super Bowl rings than any other team. The Steelers just win football games and after beating the New York Jets on Sunday they are one win away from winning their...

For the Defense, It Was a Tale of Two Halves (1/24/2011 8:45 AM)

Steelers' Taylor backs up big words with big play (1/24/2011 3:23 AM)

Valiant rally falls short in Pitt (1/24/2011 2:59 AM)
PITTSBURGH — The pain becomes more acute with each tease. How much more can Jets fans endure? Another AFC Championship Game has come and gone for the Jets with no Super Bowl to show for it. For the fourth time since their one and only Super Bowl on Jan. 12, 1969...

Jets blitz (1/24/2011 2:58 AM)
HERO Rashard Mendenhall apparently changed his name to Jim Brown just before kickoff, because the Steelers’ power back put on a display worthy of No. 32. Breaking tackles left and right, Mendenhall made the Jets look like bowling pins while racking up 121 yards and a touchdown on 27 punishing...

Mark, Jets run out of time (1/24/2011 2:53 AM)
PITTSBURGH — His insides pleaded for one last chance, because he knew his right arm had more magic left in it. They all knew he did. One stop from his defense would give Mark Sanchez that one last chance. One last chance to make history. One last chance to get the...

Gang Green can't punch in a winner (1/24/2011 2:31 AM)
PITTSBURGH -- The season died on the goal line. After all the talk, all the brashness and the brassiness, the Jets needed to get 2 yards in four plays and they got 1. They needed to pound the ball in and couldn't do it. Maybe they wouldn't have...

History-making Tomlin keeeps Bowl-ing 'em over (1/24/2011 2:28 AM)
PITTSBURGH -- Mike Tomlin isn't wasting much time cementing himself in Steelers lore. Barely four years to the day after becoming just the third Pittsburgh head coach since 1969, Tomlin already has the storied franchise headed back to the Super Bowl for the second time in his tenure. Bill...

Eluded Rex's guys when it counted (1/24/2011 2:27 AM)
PITTSBURGH -- One more time, here came the Jets, bearing down on Ben Roethlisberger, chasing him, pestering him. And one more time Roethlisberger, a brick wall with feet, proved impossible to pin down, impossible to contain. One more time he danced out of the pocket, buying time, waiting for a...

Flailing grade for Jets' D (1/24/2011 2:13 AM)
PITTSBURGH -- With Rashard Mendenhall, Eric Smith knows tackling him with your arms doesn't work. "If you're going to make a tackle [on] a back like that who runs hard, you've got to get your pads on him. You can't just arm tackle him," Smith said...

Super Bowl still out of LT's reach (1/24/2011 2:11 AM)
PITTSBURGH -- For a second time, LaDainian Tomlinson got near enough to a Super Bowl to taste it, tantalizingly close enough to envision how it would feel -- about as close as he was to the end zone on his fourth-quarter, fourth-and-goal failure that helped seal the Jets' 24-19 loss...

Sanchez aims to atone for Foxborough fiasco (1/13/2011 3:41 AM)
All across the tortured precincts of Jetsville late Saturday night, it was the call that appalled most of them — for the quarterback, it was the execution. Third-and-5 for the Jets, three minutes to play, one-point lead on the Colts. You get a first down there, you force the Colts to...

Rex Ryan begins to rev up for Sunday (1/10/2011 12:08 PM)

Some of the Jets players, still fired up about their win over the Colts, were chirping on their Twitter accounts yesterday. Here are a couple of samples: * From Braylon Edwards: “All you hatin a$$ people.... J-E-T-S. And let new England know we are coming” * From Damien Woody: “Hi Haters....Bye...

Getting even with Pats (1/10/2011 2:22 AM)

Memories of Mass.acre buried, not dead (1/10/2011 2:22 AM)

While Jets played, Brady was at play (1/9/2011 3:37 PM)
Jets coach Rex Ryan said last week that nobody studies like Peyton Manning, but Tom Brady “thinks he does.” As if to prove him right,  Brady spent Saturday night watching Lombardi on Broadway with his wife rather than take in the grudge match between the Jets and Colts.

NY Jets vs. Indianapolis Colts - Post Game

Revis' Lockdown of Wayne Had 'Amazing Impact' (1/10/2011 2:06 PM)

Wayne boils over Revis Island exile (1/10/2011 1:48 AM)
One of the most curious elements to the Jets' 17-16 wild-card win over the Colts on Saturday night was Peyton Manning's reluctance to pass the ball to his top receiver, Reggie Wayne. Manning seemed wary of throwing the ball anywhere near Jets cornerback Darrelle Revis. The result was Wayne...

Reggie Wayne upset with lack of passes his way on Saturday night (1/9/2011 11:55 AM)
Reggie Wayne caught 111 passes during the regular season, but the Colts only saw fit to throw one ball his way on Saturday night against the Jets. Such is life for wide receivers who find themselves lining up across from Darrelle Revis. The Jets cornerback was thrown on so rarely this season that he had…

Sanchez makes history for the Jets (1/9/2011 7:52 AM)
In a development that probably says less about Jets quarterback Mark Sanchez than it does about the state of the franchise in the decades before his arrival, Saturday night’s win over the Colts gave the second-year quarterback the most postseason wins in team history. With three playoff victories in 2009 and 2010 combined, Sanchez emerged…

After struggles, Sanchez shines (1/9/2011 3:20 AM)
INDIANAPOLIS — For most of the night, Mark Sanchez wasn’t poised. He wasn’t accurate, throwing high often. He didn’t see Dustin Keller wide open near the goal line in the last minute of the first half on the interception that cost the Jets a field goal at the...

Tomlinson scores twice in Jets' victory (1/9/2011 3:14 AM)
INDIANAPOLIS -- Marty Schottenheimer was in the Jets locker room after last night's triumph over the Colts, and it's pretty safe to say he liked how his former player, LaDainian Tomlinson, scored his second touchdown. "The first one, he dove and got in. But he knew they were...

Big kick gives Gang brand new Folk story (1/9/2011 3:12 AM)
INDIANAPOLIS -- This was a lot more than a routine extra point, but don't tell that to Nick Folk. "[I was] just trying to go out there," the clutch Jets kicker said, "and make it look like an extra point." Folk delivered one of the biggest kicks in Jets...

INDIANAPOLIS — Cue up the “kiss the rings” quote. Bring back Rex Ryan’s Tom Brady diss. Resurrect details of the 45-3 rout back in December. Thanks to a positively taut and scintillating 17-16 AFC wild-card victory over the Colts last night at Lucas Oil Stadium, the Jets are heading back...

Jets pass test of time (1/9/2011 2:59 AM)
INDIANAPOLIS -- The ball flew through the uprights with about a quarter of a mile to spare, just another Adam Vinatieri moment to cap off another Peyton Manning two-minute workshop. There were 53 seconds left and the Colts led by a deuce, and there were 65,332 people inside Lucas...

Peyton rallies Colts, but D cracks in defeat (1/9/2011 2:58 AM)
INDIANAPOLIS -- Peyton Manning's greatness could carry the Colts only so far. Despite operating with a cast of no-names thanks to more injuries than he could count, the four-time NFL MVP appeared to put Indianapolis in position to steal an AFC wild-card playoff from the Jets last night. Manning...

Jets blitz (1/9/2011 2:57 AM)
HERO Mark Sanchez grew up before everyone’s eyes on the game-winning drive, calmly completing three passes for 39 yards to move the Jets into position for Nick Folk’s game-winning field goal at the gun. Not bad for someone who looked like he might get benched after an ugly...

Jets report card (1/9/2011 2:55 AM)
OFFENSE Mark Sanchez’s stats weren’t gaudy (18-31, 189 yards, 1 interception) but he engineered the game-winning drive in the final seconds, connecting with WR Braylon Edwards (4-62) on the biggest pass play of the game to set up the decisive field goal. WR Santonio Holmes (4-46) made a...

Cromartie returns to glory (1/9/2011 2:47 AM)
INDIANAPOLIS -- What Antonio Cromartie couldn't give the Jets as a cornerback last night, he more than made up for with one pivotal kickoff return. After struggling all night to contain Colts wide receiver Pierre Garcon, Cromartie redeemed himself with a 47-yard runback that put the Jets in position...

Taylor gets first playoff win since 2000 season (1/9/2011 2:44 AM)
INDIANAPOLIS -- Jason Taylor waited a long time for this, but he wasn't ready to bask in it for long. Taylor, the Jets linebacker who was signed in the offseason after a long career with the Dolphins, hadn't played in a playoff game since 2001 before last night...

Questionable timeout costs Colts' Caldwell (1/9/2011 2:41 AM)
INDIANAPOLIS -- Colts coach Jim Caldwell won his first 14 games as a head coach last year, and still endured months of second-guessing thanks primarily to his decision to blow off a perfect season, and then when he was completely outcoached in the Super Bowl by Sean Payton. Expect much...

Manning deals with another early playoff exit (1/9/2011 2:03 AM)
On the Colts’ biggest play of the year, a third-and-six from the Jets’ 32-yard line with 1:02 left, Peyton Manning rolled out to his right.  He didn’t have anyone wide open, but found a small window to throw to The Blair White Project. White couldn’t come up with the low throw, Adam Vinatieri made a…

A Glorious Finish for the 60-Minute Men (1/9/2011 1:36 AM)
The Jets are the NFL’s 60-Minute Men. After Adam Vinatieri gave the Colts a 16-14 lead over the Jets with just 57 seconds on the clock, most of America probably wrote the Green & White off. There wouldn’t be enough time for Rex Ryan’s club to move downfield quickly, especially on a night when second-year [...]

Once again, Peyton Manning, Colts fall short in loss to Jets (1/9/2011 12:52 AM)
Peyton Manning did his part, as he so often does. Then, the guys on the Colts' defense couldn't do theirs. The New York Jets drove down the field ...

Jets take big step forward with late win in Indy (1/9/2011 12:17 AM)
When kicker Adam Vinatieri nailed a ho-hum 50-yard field goal to put the Colts up by two points with 53 seconds remaining, the second straight playoff matchup between the teams that met in Super Bowl III seemed destined to go to the home team.  For the Jets and coach Rex Ryan to finally topple Indy…

NY Jets vs. Indianapolis Colts

Colts lead Jets after low-scoring first half (1/8/2011 10:36 PM)
The Seahawks and Saints played a classic on Saturday afternoon. The Jets-Colts Saturday night game? Not so much. The Colts lead 7-0 at halftime in Indianapolis in a game that feels like something of a letdown after the early fireworks in Seattle. That’s not to say the game hasn’t had its moments: Peyton Manning threw…

New York Jets WR Brad Smith leaves with quad injury vs. Indianapolis Colts (1/8/2011 9:27 PM)

Gholston inactive against Colts; Hayden heads to injured reserve (1/8/2011 8:00 PM)
Jets coach Rex Ryan talked up Vernon Gholston throughout Hard Knocks like he was going to break out this season.  Five months later, Gholston isn’t even one of the Jets’ best 45 players. Gholston was a surprise healthy scratch for Saturday night’s game against the Colts.    Gholston was joined by fellow Hard Knocks favorites…

Secondary's Confident Heading Toward Colts (1/5/2011 7:00 AM)

Colts survive rash of injuries (1/5/2011 3:02 AM)
INDIANAPOLIS -- The Colts sneaked into the playoffs with just 10 victories, already capping one of the best seasons in Peyton Manning's storied career. No, that's not a contradiction. Indianapolis enters the postseason with fewer than 12 wins for the first time since 2002 and wasn't assured...

Hit Mann! Jets aim to knock down Peyton (1/5/2011 2:08 AM)
Peyton Manning has dropped back to pass a career-high 679 times this season. He’s been sacked 16 times — or once every 43.4 pass attempts. Translation: The Jets aren’t likely to sack Manning more than once — if at all — when they play the Colts in a AFC wild-card...

Colts hoping to get back 3 key defenders (1/5/2011 1:36 AM)

Maegle recalls some sideline shenanigans from '54 (12/13/2010 9:57 PM)
Dicky Maegle clearly recalls everything about his trip toward the end zone in the 1954 Cotton Bowl: dashing around right end, faking out future NFL star Bart Starr, breaking free for what would've been a 95-yard gallop. And then getting nailed by a player who came flying off the bench. Maegle gladly retold the story Monday night of those sideline shenanigans, shortly after a New York Jets...

The widespread presumption in the wake of Sunday’s tripping incident by Jets strength coach Sal Alosi is that Alosi acted alone, a rogue rah-rah guy who had a little too much Rex Ryan and/or Red Bull before the game. But look at the video and/or the still image.  Alosi appears to be the first man…

Figuring out Sal Alosi’s punishment (12/13/2010 2:37 AM)
At this point, it seems inevitable that Jets strength and conditioning coach Sal Alosi will be punished for tripping Dolphins special teamer Nolan Carroll on the sideline during Sunday’s game.  (Alosi says he’ll accept any punishment.)

Jets blitz (12/13/2010 2:52 AM)
HERO Dolphins punter Brandon Fields deserves a big raise and a Pro Bowl berth after his amazing performance in terrible conditions. The four-year veteran averaged 49 yards on nine punts, including a 69-yarder, and kept the Jets pinned deep in their territory most of the afternoon. That was crucial in...

OFFENSE Mark Sanchez (17-44, 216 yards, 1 INT, 45.3 rating) was abysmal, turning the ball over twice in the first quarter. WR Santonio Holmes dropped a TD pass in the second quarter, though he made a nice diving catch later. TE Ben Hartsock had a face-mask penalty in the...

Santonio has costly TD drop (12/13/2010 2:07 AM)
Maybe Santonio Holmes was distracted by the Flight Crew cheerleaders dressed in scandalous Santa outfits.

Maybe the football was slippery from the driving rainstorm that drowned the swamps of Jersey. Maybe Holmes...

Fish defense puts hook in Gang Green (12/13/2010 2:03 AM)

Shaun Ellis and the Jets had seen this story play out before.

Jets can forget about division crown as offensive slump continues (12/12/2010 8:55 PM)
