After a 28-yard field goal by Nick Folk to make the game 17-6 on their previous drive, the Jets got the ball back and marched down the field on a 9-play, 77-yard drive that shredded just 3:36 off the clock late in the second half.
The drive started with a 16-yard first down completion from Jets quarterback Geno Smith to receiver Jeremy Kerley and after some runs by running back Chris Johnson, Geno found Kerley again, this time for a 19-yard touchdown strike. This made it a four point game at 17-13.
Ever since the Jets seemed almost incompetent in the first quarter after a Geno Smith pick six, the Jets have dominated this game. In week one, New York was able to get the win against a weak Oakland Raiders club, but then in week two they suffered an awful loss to the Green Bay Packers in a game that they led 21-3 in the first half. The Jets are trying to find their way and if they can get a win against Chicago tonight, a team that proved successful against San Fransisco last week in dramatic fashion, the Jets may not be so ignored in the AFC East race.
