New YorkThe New York Jets vs. San Diego Chargers line opened Sunday afternoon at San Diego -9. New York will play in San Diego following Baltimore's stunning defeat of New England on the road. The Ravens will go on to play Indianapolis as a +6 ½ underdog at Bookmaker.com.
The Jets beat Cincinnati on Saturday during their wild card playoffs matchup.
Ironically, The Jets won their first playoff game since beating the Chargers in the 2004 Wild Card round.
Mark Sanchez became just the fourth rookie QB in NFL history to win his postseason debut, joining Shaun King ('99 Bucs), Ben Roethlisberger ('04 Steelers) and Joe Flacco ('08 Ravens). Sanchez and Flacco are the only ones to do it on the road.
"He had the eye of the tiger today and he was ready to get out there and throw it around," coach Rex Ryan said of his quarterback. "I see him getting better and better each day on the practice field. What a job he's done. I think he's tired of hearing he's the weak link on this football team."
Sanchez was an efficient 12 for 15 for 182 yards and 1 TD, good for a passer rating of 139.4.
Jets rookie Shonn Greene carried 21 times for 135 yards and a TD. Greene's total was tied for the third-highest by a rookie in his postseason debut since the merger. It was also tied for the second-highest single-game total in Jets posteason history.
New York will play the hottest team in the NFL right now, the San Diego Chargers. The Chargers have won 11 straight matching their best single-season streak (1961).
San Diego finished 13-3, the second most wins in franchise history. The team won 14 in 2006.
"You work hard to get to this point," said Chargers coach Norv Turner, who was fired by the Redskins after 13 games in the 2000 season. "You work hard to position yourself. You work hard to get the bye and the home game. Now we want to take advantage of that."
