So what exactly is the Jets’ record this year in weeks that they have a three-way quarterback controversy?
Jets vs. Jaguars results: Sanchez leads New York to 17-10 win in Jacksonville
Last week’s hero, Greg McElroy, was inactive, but the Jets still found a way to win for the second week in a row
On Sunday, in the middle of the ever-present drama between Mark Sanchez, Tim Tebow and Greg McElroy, things settled down just long enough for Sanchez to guide Gang Green to a 17-10 win over the Jaguars in Jacksonville.
Curiously, McElroy - the guy who led the Jets to a win last week - was inactive while Tebow was active, but Sanchez and company got the better of the Jags in a punt-filled game.
Thanks to a solid run game - Shonn Greene and Bilal Powell combined for 155 yards and two touchdowns on the ground - and a late defensive stand where Ellis Lankster picked off Chad Henne on the Jets' 28-yard line, the circus that is the New York Jets won back-to-back games for the first time all year.
Stat of the game: The stat of any Jets’ day naturally has to be what the quarterback du jour did - and Mark Sanchez completed only 12 of 19 passes for 111 yards and lost a fumble.
Fantasy studs/duds: The Jets running backs had a nice day, splitting carries but ending up with similar fantasy totals. Bilal Powell had 78 yards and a touchdown and Shonn Greene added 77 yards and a score. Jags' backup running back Montell Owens stepped in and had a nice day, with 91 yards and a score.
The duds on both sides were the wide receivers - Justin Blackmon, who had 57 yards, was the leading receiver for either side.
Did they cover?: The Jets were 2.5 point favorites and therefore covered the spread. But I do hope you aren’t actually betting on the Jets and the Jaguars.
Injury info: Jets defensive back Antonio Cromartie was taken to the locker room with a head injury but returned to the game, and wide receiver Stephen Hill suffered an apparent knee injury.
Next team on the schedule: The Jets travel to Tennessee to play on Monday Night Football, while the Jaguars will take a trip down the road to face the Dolphins.
