That win today should earn them the respect that they deserve. They really did a tremendous job, especially in the second half. It was important that they kept the deficit to only a TD. Also in the second half they really kept themselves out of the third and long situations it seemed like they were battling in the first half. And the defense made some plays when they had to.
Also it doesn't hurt to a few breaks (Kadeding crapping the bed).
I didn't think the Jets could win this game scoring only 17 points, I thought they would need around 21-24 to have a reasonable shot. Not sure what I think they need to score next week (I'm leaning towards sticking to that 21-24 level) but it should be very interesting, they are playing with tons of confidence. Their defense could keep up with anyone (but obviously the must get pressure on Manning), it's just a matter of the offense not turning the ball over (most noteably Sanchez, who was once again pretty good today, it looks like the light is coming on at the right time) and putting some points on the board. There is no reason why they can't win that game next week.
