Back Where We Belong: With Losses By Miami And New England, Jets Re-Claim Division Lead

With their overtime victory over the Detroit Lions at Ford Field today, the (6-2) Jets re-claimed first place in the AFC East.

Last week was disastrous for Jets fans and players alike, as both Miami and New England won close games, and the Jets shot a blank at home and lost a big game.

This week, was a totally different story. Eric Mangini, the "Mangenius," came out with a great gameplan against New England, and the Browns upset the Patriots, 34-14. Furthermore, Miami went into Baltimore and was dominated, losing, 26-10.

Thanks for keeping the seat warm, Patriots. We'll take it from here.
