The prospect of facing the Patriots young secondary has the Jets WR Santonio Holmes excited. Although Coach Rex Ryan insists they're still a run-first offense, the Jets figure to have several opportunities to air it out against a secondary that ranks last in the NFL in pass defense. The Jets are on a franchise-record eight-game road winning streak, while Mark Sanchez has a 113.8 passer rating in his last four games against division opponents. The Jets offense is ranked 11th overall (360ypg) with a 20th ranked pass game (212ypg) and the NFL’s second best running game (148ypg). They score the 11th highest amount of points per-game (24ppg). Braylon Edwards leads the Jets offense with six TD’s.
