The Jets (3-0) beat the Titans 24-17 at home in Week 3 to find themselves atop the AFC East. QB Mark Sanchez made 17 of 30 passes for 171 yards with two TD passes, overall he’s thrown for 606 yards with four TD’s and two interceptions. He became the first rookie QB to win his first three games. Their top RB Leon Washington had 12 carries for 46 yards , while RB Thomas Jones had 14 carries for 20 yards. Their top WR Josh Cotchery made eight catches for 108 yards with a TD. RB Reggie Bush will face the Jets for the first time and the Jets will have to watch him on the outside. His ability to get to the outside and make people miss could cause problems for New York, that is if he can get the ball in space isolated against a linebacker. Jets DT Kris Jenkins has 19 career sacks vs. the NFC. The Jets are averaging 21.3 ppg and they average 24 ppg on the road.
The Saints (3-0) won in Buffalo 27-7 in Week 3 and sit atop the NFC South. QB Drew Brees made 16 of 29 passes for 172 yards and failed to throw a touchdown for the first time since a Week 7 loss to the Panthers last season. Overall he’s thrown for 841 yards with nine TD’s and two interceptions. Their top RB Pierre Thomas recorded 126 rushing yards and two touchdowns on 14 carries, all in the second half, while RB Reggie Bush had 13 carries for 64 yards. Their top WR Marques Colston made four catches for 67 yards, while TE Jeremy Shockey made six catches for 48 yards. The Saints O-line will have to be at their best against a blitzing Jets defense. The Jets defense has managed to make veteran quarterbacks Matt Schaub, Tom Brady and Kerry Collins look lost at times. This is a classic battle between one of the league's best quarterbacks (Drew Brees) and one of the league's most innovative defensive minds (Rex Ryan). Saints WR Marques Colston has seven touchdowns in his past six games. Saints LB Jonathan Vilma spent the first four years of his career with the Jets. The Saints are averaging 40 ppg and they average 45 ppg at home.
