The Jets beat the Steelers!

What a great game. My friend Josh got us tickets and bunch of the guys from the neighborhood got together to go to the game. We feasted on ribs and chicken in the parking lot and then found our way to our seats (section 301, row 27) way above the endzone, surrounded by Steelers fans. They sure are a rowdy bunch, tossing out insults towards the Jets, hooting and hollering every time Pittsburgh had the ball. And they were smelly too. I'm not sure if it was perpetual flatulence or if they all used Eau Du Pittsburgh cologne but boy oh boy there sure were some nasty odors emanating from the guys in black and gold. Maybe the reason they wave those Terrible Towels so much is to dissipate their smell.

The Jets jumped out to an early 7-0 lead but the Steelers fans were all still talking trash. Even when the Jets held the lead at halftime, those Terrible Towels were waving during the tribute to Curtis Martin.

Kellen Clemens looked pretty solid, except for an interception and a fumble that ran out the back of the endzone. Fortunately, Pittsburgh was called for holding on that play and the Jets were able to keep the ball. With just over 2 minutes left to play, the Jets trailed by 3, and Clemens marched them 76 yards down the field for a game-tying Mike Nugent field goal.

All during the game the Steelers refused to kick the ball anywhere near Leon Washington. They were afraid of his kick return abilities, so all their kicks were short and fielded by Jerricho Cotchery. But, after a 3 and out in the overtime period, Pittsburgh punted the ball right into Leon's waiting arms. He promptly scrambled 33 yards to set up a game winning field goal by Mike Nugent.

The boys with their Terrible Towels were finally silent.     J! E! T! S! Jets! Jets! Jets!
