Jets loss

This Jets loss reminds me of a Jets/Patriots game I attended about three years ago. It was Sunday, December 2, 2001. The Jets went up 16-0 but New England, with backup QB Tom Brady leading the way (Brady came in after the Jets knocked Drew Bledsoe out for the season in the two teams' first meeting) won the game 17-16.

Here, the Jets went up 14-0, fell behind 17-14 and then eventually lost in OT 20-17.

Two notes:

1) Doesn't Herm Edwards have a time out/clock management specialist? What happened at the end of regulation?

2) I was feeling pretty bad about this loss until I saw that the Giants lost at Arizona. At least most of the headlines will be about the Giants! The Jets will have the opportunity to catch similar headlines in a few weeks when they go to AZ.
