They did it!

Jets-22, Steelers-17: The Jets did the impossible last night, they defeated the Pittsburgh Steelers in Pittsburgh. While everyone had counted them out(including myself) they showed great resiliency and really took the fight to the Steelers. Mark Sanchez rebounded going 19-29 with 170 yds. and a crucial rushing TD. His bootleg fake on the Steelers seven yard line in the 3rd quarter was a thing of a beauty and a great play call by Brian Schottenheimer. The offensive line allowed one sack the whole game, James Harrison and Lamarr Woodley were non factors. The defense played average, except for Jason Taylor's safety in the 4th quarter, they had no answers for the Steelers reeling offense. I don't want to be debbie downer but the 3rd and 24 on the Steelers final drive should have never been converted. The unit stopped Big Ben when it mattered most and the Jets leave Pittsburgh with a win. At 10-4 the Jets need to win one of the last two games to clinch a playoff spot. The team will travel to Chicago next to take on the Bears.
