Jets Beat Houstan Texans 30-27

New York Jets overcame the Houston Texans in a stunning 30-27 win after looking like they were going to go down throughout the match in the National Football League on Sunday. Santonio Holmes was the star of the game as he caught a touchdown pass with moments to go for the game to end.

Jets had led by 16 points but in the fourth quarter they lost all of it and were 23-27 down with ten seconds remaining. It was here that the game turned around as quarterback Mark Sanchez pulled off two passes to LaDainian Tomlinson and followed it up with a 42-yard pass to Braylon Edwards.

Sanchez then had Holmes sneaking into the left corner of the end zone to slam home the winner and go 30-27 up at the final whistle.

In another game of the night, New England Patriots won a close encounter against Indianapolis 31-28 thanks to a good showing by Tom Brady.

The Patriots who had gone into this game with a 7-2 record played well to get them a 31-14 lead. However, Manning helped his rally from that score to reduce the lead to three points only. Unfortunately for him and the Indianapolis team, they were not able to close the gap.

This win means that New England is at the top of the AFC East, and despite the loss, Indianapolis are at 6-4 and lead the AFC South.

Philadelphia Eagles beat the New York Giants 27-17 in another game in the night as LeSean McCoy ran 50 yards for the go-ahead score. This win meant that Eagles went to the top of the NFC East spot, with a 7-3 record.

In some of the other matches in Sunday, Buffalo overcame the Bengals 49-31 while Dallas crushed Detroit 35-19. Carolina had no respite as they went down to Baltimore 37-13 while Jacksonville beat Cleveland 24-20.
