Jets beat Colts
Darrelle Revis was the MVP of the game with Reggie Wayne have a reception for a yard and the game really came down to the last 3 minutes of the game which started with Payton Manning going down cutting up the Jets defense after the Colts rushed the ball down the Jets throat with Dominic Rhodes (4 rushes for 15 yards) and Joseph Addai (3 rushes for 17 yards) while Payton chipped in with to throws to Pierre Garcon (2 receptions for 35 yards). So Payton with 2:36 starting @ his own 20 yard line and completes a pass to Jacob Tamme for 15 yards and then for 11 yards and then after Joseph Addai runs for 6 yards Payton throws to Blair White for 12 yards and the Colts are already on the Jets 36 yard line so Payton has gone 4 plays and 44 yards in like 45 seconds. Then Adam Vinatieri (Mr. Clutch field goal kicker) steps up with 57 seconds and drills a 50-yard field goal to give the Colts the lead 16-14 but then they have to kick-off and just as Giants fans how easy it is to kick-off and run and the clock so Pat McAfee kicks the ball a yard deep into the end zone and Antonio Cromartie catches and he runs it out and he keeps running until he is tackled at the Jets 46-yard line. So Mark Sanchez steps up with 45 seconds left and 2 timeouts and he throws the ball (Browns fans look away) Braylon Edwards for 9 yards and then calls a timeout then he throws to Santonio Holmes for 11 yards and he steps out of bounds after LaDainian Tomlinson runs for 2 yards Mark Sanchez throws ( Browns fans need to go elsewhere right now) to Braylon Edwards to the Colts 14-yard line for 18 yards. Then the Jets run the clock till there is 3 seconds left in the game and Nick Folk (one of the biggest question marks coming into the season for Jet fans) lines up a 32-yard field goal and kicks it through the uprights to win the game for the Jets.
Seahawks beat the Saints
The Saints begin the game at their own 40 yard line and with 2 runs to Reggie Bush (6 and 3 yards) while Brees throws 5-yards to Jeremy Shockey and 30-yards to Marques Colston and the Saints are on the Seahawks 16 yard line and making it look easy but then they get stopped and kick a 26-yard field goal and then Matt Hasselbeck on the third play from the line of scrimmage he completes a pass to former Buffalo Bill Jabari Greer only problem is that Greer is on the Saints defense and the Saints get the ball @ the Seahawks 40-yard line and Brees has no problem getting into the end zone throwing a yard pass to Heath Evans to make it 10-0 and we still have 6:21 left in the first quarter. Then the old Hasselbeck (the good enough Hasselbeck) makes an appearance before the end of the first quarter as he throws a 11-yard TD pass to John Carlson and it is 10-7 Saints after 1 quarter while Brees is still marching down the field and can do no wrong as Julius Jones runs it in from 5 yards out to make it 17-7 Saints. So then Hasselbeck moves the Seahawks down from their own 30-yard line to score another TD with a lot of help from Cameron Morrah who caught a 39-yard pass from Hasselbeck to put them on the Saints 7 yard line where John Carlson catches second TD pass of the day this one 7-yards to make it 17-14 Saints and lets just say really no defense yet besides the interception on either team. Then the Seahawks get a 3 and out and get the ball back and they go 3 and out but then the Saints get the ball back and the first play from the line of Scrimmage Julius Jones puts the ball on the carpet and the Seahawks have the ball @ the Saints 18-yard line where former Buffalo Bill Marshawn Lynch runs 3 times (6,2, and 0) and the Seahawks tie the game at 17 with a field goal from Olindo Mare. With 5 minutes left the Seahawks march down the field and Hasselbeck ends up throwing a 45 yard TD pass to former Bronco Brandon Stokley to take their first lead of the game 24-17 going into half but the saints cut it with a field goal 24-20 by half-time. Then the Seahawks get the ball first in the second half and once again march down the field with ease as Hasselbeck throw a 38-yard touchdown to Mike Williams (a guy who was out of the league for not one but two years) to make it 31-20 Seahawks. The Saints continued to have problems on offense (another 3 and out) and on defense (Seahawks again marched down the field with ease but only got a field goal to make to 34-20) and then the Saints gambled on a fourth down run and did not make a yard at their own 37 yard line but the Seahawks had to kick it right back to them. Then Brees finally found his grove again as he marched down the field and then Chris Clemons took a very strange Unnecessary Roughness penalty (15-yards) on a Julius Jones 2-yard run and then a pass and 2 runs later Julius Jones is dancing in the end zone and it is now 34-24. Then the Saints get the ball back and a 33 yard pass to Julius Jones sets them up on the Seahawks 23 yard line and they inch closer to the end zone where Garrett Hartley kicks a 21-yard field goal to make it 34-29. The Seahawks punt the Saints all the way back to their 6-yard line and get 1 first down and a punt so with 4 and a half minutes left the Seahawks decided to use as much of the clock as possible so they run the ball from their own 33 yard line and Marshawn Lynch runs 67 yards for a touchdown on the very first play from scrimmage to give the Seahawks a 41-29 lead. The Saints then march one more time into the Seahawks but a little to late as Devery Henderson catches a 6-yard pass from Brees but the 2-point run attempt does not work along with the onside kick and the Seahawks run out the clock to win 41-36 as Hasselbeck had 4 TDs after have a horrible regular season.
