N.Y. rallies to put hurt on K.C.
JETS 38, CHIEFS 31
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J.» It was a Brutal start, a wild finish and quite an impressive victory for the New York Jets. As for Andy Reid and the Kansas City Chiefs, this one surely stings.
Josh McCown scored on a 1-yard quarterback sneak with 2:15 left , and the Jets bounced back from an early deficit Sunday and held on for a wacky 38-31 win that was filled with big plays, bad penalties and lots of lead changes.
“When you see it go back and forth, it’s hard, because eventually one team gives in,” McCown said. “We just stayed together.”
Chandler Catanzaro kicked a 21-yard field goal to put the Jets (5-7) ahead with 3:55 left. But Kansas City’s Bennie Logan was called for a personal foul for hitting long snapper Thomas Hennessy in the head on the play. That gave the Jets the ball at the 1 with a new set of downs.
After two running plays, McCown threw incomplete — but Steven Nelson was penalized for defensive holding, making it first-andgoal from the 2. Three plays later, McCown kept the ball and shoved his way into the end zone.
“It’s big, good to win one,” Jets coach Todd Bowles said. “You can breathe a sigh of relief before you move on to next week.”
The loss by the Chiefs (6-6) ruined the return of cornerback Darrelle Revis, who made his debut with Kansas City after signing a two-year deal last week. Revis, who played eight years over two stints with the Jets.
