                    Cleveland vs Seattle  Browns                       
Tennessee vs Houston  Texans
Miami  vs Denver  Broncos

Rex Ryan and the New York Jets (3-3) look to continue their momentum after a huge win over the Miami Dolphins (0-5). This week they take on the red hot San Diego Chargers (4-1). The Chargers, who usually heat up in December are looking to establish themselves early as one of the elite teams in the AFC. With the Chargers playing at a high level, and the Jets still looking to establish themselves, the Chargers should dominate this game.

Ravens Eat the Jets before Takeoff


As the temperatures in Baltimore dropped below 50 degree, so would Mark Sanchez QB rating, as he finished with a 30.5 finishing up 11 for 35 with 119 yards and an interception that was returned for a touchdown by Lardarius Webb as the Ravens (3-1) defeat the New York Jets (2-2) 34-17.

On the Jets first possession of the game, Sanchez would drop back for his routine pass, only to find the ball being knocked out of his hands by the future Hall of Famer Ed Reed, and returned by Jameel McClain for the touchdown.

Sanchez would also find himself unable to handle the pigskin, as he fumbled the ball four times, three of which was lost, and two returned for a touchdowns. (Mcclain and Jarrett Johnson) This is certainly a game that he would like to forget.

Joe Flacco did not do much better. He was 10 for 31, for 163 yards, with an interception that was also returned for a touchdown. He finished with a QB rating of 37.4.

The Ravens would get some offense from their running game, as Ray Rice (66) and Ricky Williams (49) combined for 115 rushing yards. Rice would score the Ravens only offensive touchdown.

For the Ravens this game was all about their defense. They scored a franchised record three touchdowns. Throughout the night, the defense was aggressive, hitting Sanchez 10 times, and forcing three fumbles

The Ravens go into the bye week as the sole owner of first place in the AFC North. When they return from the bye week, they will face the red hot Houston Texans who defeated the Pittsburgh Steelers 17-10.
