Jets Rule Supreme over Titans, 34-13

The New York Jets are a contender. If there was any doubt, they squashed that skepticism Sunday in Nashville with a 34-13 pasting of the previously undefeated Titans.

In what has become a trend for the AFC East leaders, the Jets played another complete game. The defense was suffocating, Brett Favre threw a scoring pass in each half and Leon Washington cemented another impressive win a scintillating 61-yard run to the house and a 4-yard score in the final quarter.

The 8-3 Jets, who have now won five games in a row overall, completed their most impressive three-game road stretch in franchise history. After topping the 5-2 Bills in Buffalo and the 6-3 Pats in New England, the Jets moved south and out-classed a 10-0 Titans squad.

Favre, who threw his first interception in three games, was madly efficient and completed 25 of his 32 passes for 224 yards. He spread the ball around neatly as Coles had 7 receptions for 88 yards and Jerricho Cotchery and rookie tight end Dustin Keller added a half dozen each for 55 and 42 respectively. Not to be overlooked was Thomas Jones’ tough 96-yard effort on the ground.
