Jets Fly in to Semi-Finals

The big upset of the weekend was the Jet's tight thee point victory over the San Diego Chargers to make it to the AFC Championship decider. They are also the
only wild-card team to have beaten seeded opposition on the road, in the weekend's games.

It was no mean achievement for New York, who have a rookie head coach and a rookie QB. Their reward is a fairly daunting match up against the Indianapolis Colts - who in turn got to this stage by beating the Baltimore Ravens.

San Diego were the strong favourites in the betting and had gone into this match-up having a regular season eleven game winning run - ending up 13-3 and the AFC West champs.

In sharp contrast, the Jets stole into the post-season on the final day of the regular season with an overall record of 9-7. This was really the second upset of their Superbowl run since they turned over the Cincinnati Bengals.

New York gave away little and were only 7-0 down at the end of the 2nd quarter.

Jay Feely finally got the Jets on the points board and the defence then set about smothering Rivers, leading to two interceptions and a missed field goal attempt for the Chargers.

In the final quarter, Sanchez threw a touchdown pass for Keller before running back Greene grabbed the win with a 53 yarder for another touchdown - putting the Jets 17-7ahead.

It was always going to be tough for Sand Diego from this point on but Rivers got them back to within three, when he charged over the goal-line a few seconds before the 'two-minute-warning'. But the Jets retained the football and won the game.
