New England Patriots 17 - New York Jets 7
In an early battle for first place in the AFC East, the Patriots traveled to New York and knocked off the Jets in a low-scoring affair which featured the Patriots rushing attack doing what it does, and a turnover from a most unlikely source.
The Patriots marched down the field on the opening drive using nothing but the ground game, culminating in a 21-yard score by Leshoure. Both offenses were quiet for the rest of the half save for a Gostkowski field goal late. The Jets one early drive which looked promising was stamped out when the Patriots pulled a trick out against the no huddle and dropped Wilfork into coverage. Sanchez threw it right into his bread basket for the pick (the irony of Wilfork getting a pick in a game in which Revis and Cro each dropped one is not lost on me, lol). The Pats finally broke through again late when Cobie Ross got loose for a 64 yard score. The Jets were finally able to find the endzone on a Best pass from Sanchez with 1:28 left, but the Pats recovered the onside kick and were able to run out the clock for the win.
McCoy was an unspectacular 3 of 7 for 25 yards.
Sanchez was 11 of 21 for 162 yards, 1 TD and 1 fat-man INT.
Cobie Ross carried 17 times for 195 yards and a score, with Mikel Leshoure pitching in 13 for 70 and a TD of his own.
Jahvid Best carried 14 times for 79 yards.
Roddy White caught 2 balls for 16 yards for the Pats, who barely threw.
Dustin Keller lead the Jets with 4 for 44. Best had the TD.
The Pats got a pick from Wilfork and a sack by Carswell, while the Jets didn't put up any defensive stats of note (though did do a great job in coverage the few times McCoy dropped back).
The big injury blow was the Jets losing Santonio Holmes for 10 weeks.

gg n8! Definitely a closer game than even the 10-point spread indicates. If Cro or Revis hold on to those picks (neither were gimmies, but those guys are pretty good) it could have been a very different game. I also got a bit of a break with that ball right into Wilfork's ample stomach, but that was at least part strategy since I did drop him into coverage.
See you in Week 14.
buying the newest computer parts, as technology roughly doubles every other year, and it is much cheaper to build your own, it's fun and easy too. Laptops are too ridiculous to work on. I remember I took an old Dell laptop i had apart, and they build them so you basically cannot get into them, it was the biggest pain in the ass working on, all i was trying to do was replace the casing around of one of my USB ports which had cracked, and i had to take apart every piece of my laptop to do so, took much longer than I expected.
