New York Jets Tickets

Defensive tackle John Henderson jumped up and down at the goal line, shaking his head from side to side and screaming at the top of his lungs. He wanted a stop. He wanted a shutout. He wanted redemption after an embarrassing defensive performance at Washington. He got all three. The Jacksonville Jaguars scored touchdowns on four of their first five possessions, quickly rebounding from consecutive...

Pete Kendall has a huge task ahead of him. When the New York Jets' veteran left guard lines up Sunday at Jacksonville, he'll be staring at Pro Bowler John Henderson, the Jaguars' 6-foot-7, 325-pound wall of a defensive tackle. "Physically, it's a big challenge for me," Kendall said earlier this week. "John is a bigger guy than I am." Not that Kendall is small by any means.

New York Jets running back Cedric Houston was downgraded Saturday from doubtful to out with a left knee injury and did not accompany the team for its game at Jacksonville. Houston was injured last Sunday against Indianapolis when he ran the ball up the middle on third-and-goal from the Colts 2 with 5:18 left in the third quarter and was tackled by Dwight Freeney for no gain.

Colts coach Tony Dungy put his revamped no-huddle plans on hold. But if there's a repeat of what he saw Sunday against the New York Jets, Dungy says won't hesitate to employ a new version of the Colts base offense by substituting players and snapping the ball before defenses can make comparable changes.

A former NFL lineman admits the Albert Haynesworth incident was bad, but suggests it might have been a common act of payback.

Shaun Ellis zipped past a blocker and pursued Peyton Manning like a man possessed. The New York Jets defensive end caught up to the Indianapolis quarterback, grabbed hold of his jersey and planted him into the Meadowlands turf for a 12-yard loss and the first of two big sacks last Sunday. Ellis, usually quiet and reserved in the locker room, celebrated with some hootin' and hollerin'.

The Eagles have some question marks on offense, but should get a key member of its defense back for the Dallas game.

Chad Pennington keeps a picture on his desk at home that often catches his eye. It's not of a loved one or a favorite childhood memory. Rather, it's a framed reminder of one of the most devastating moments of his football career. The photo is of the New York Jets quarterback being sacked by Jacksonville's Paul Spicer early in the second half of their game last season in Week 3.

Peyton Manning may never be confused with Michael Vick, Vince Young or even Jake Plummer. That doesn't mean the two-time MVP can't move. He's been stepping away from would-be sack artists for years and over the past two weeks has given defenses one more dimension to fear in his already dangerous repertoire: scoring runs.

Running back Clinton Portis' return has sparked a Redskins offense that got off to a slow start.

After dismantling the Seahawks on Sunday, the undefeated Bears are atop the rankings for the first time.

Jonathan Vilma was angry. His clenched jaw gave it away. The Jets' star linebacker answered questions about New York's leaky defense, his frustration clearly marked by his short responses and the intense look on his face. "The defense didn't do it and it cost us the game," Vilma said moments after New York's 31-28 loss to Indianapolis on Sunday.

Eric Mangini is gaining quite the reputation for being a gambler. The New York Jets' coach has gone for it on fourth down, pulled off an onside kick moments after scoring a touchdown and sprinkled in a few trick plays. And that's just in one game. No longer the conservative, predictable team that marked Herman Edwards' tenure as coach, Mangini's Jets have shown to be an aggressive bunch through the...

All that was missing was a trombone player and a touchdown. The Jets nearly lateraled their way to a last-play victory over the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday, and while none of the six New York players who touched the ball managed to score, they surely made the highlight reels. With eight seconds to go, the Jets began a multi-lateral, multi-fumble play that moved them well downfield but fell just...

Peyton Manning watched the fourth-quarter lead his Colts had just taken vanish in a flash when the New York Jets returned the ensuing kickoff 103 yards. Cool, calm and ever the leader, the Indianapolis Colts quarterback just jogged back on the field with a little more than 2 minutes left and took charge.

Donovan McNabb was the difference. T.O. was nothing more than a decoy. In his highly anticipated return to Philadelphia, Terrell Owens had just three catches and was outdone by the Eagles' young receivers -- and by McNabb. McNabb threw touchdown passes of 40 yards to Reggie Brown and 87 yards to Hank Baskett, and Lito Sheppard returned an interception 102 yards in the final minute to seal the Eagles'...

Jets running back Cedric Houston was carted from the field after injuring his left knee on a run in the third quarter of New York's game against the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday. Houston ran the ball up the middle on third-and-goal from the Colts 2 with 5:18 left in the quarter and was tackled by Dwight Freeney for no gain.

D'Brickashaw Ferguson relaxed on the stool in front of his locker, shoes and socks off, when he was reminded of the unnerving task ahead: blocking Indianapolis sack specialist Dwight Freeney. The New York Jets' rookie left tackle with the big expectations and soft voice was unfazed. "Every week, you're faced with an incredible player, and this is just an example of that," Ferguson said in his...
