Stop everything: New York Jets at San Diego Chargers: AFC Divisional Playoff Preview

New York

Make no mistake about it, the Jets are confident heading into Sunday’s AFC Divisional Playoff game against the Chargers. Coach Rex Ryan even went as far as to give his team a schedule that ends with a Super Bowl victory parade in downtown Manhattan. But first thing’s first, and that’s a matchup against the hottest team in the AFC—the San Diego Chargers. Here are three story lines heading into this weekend’s game:


Ground and Pound




The Jets have the No. 1 rushing attack in the league and will look to continue their dominance up front in San Diego. Gang Green has developed an identity and it is one of a physical unit (on both sides of the ball) that will stay committed to the run at all costs because they are built for it.


It doesn’t hurt that the Chargers were ranked 20th against the run during the regular season and 16th in overall defense. The two-headed monster consisting of Thomas Jones and rookie Shonn Greene combined for 169 yards and two touchdowns in the Wild Card victory over Cincinnati.


With that said, the most intriguing part of this will be how effective the Jets will be given the fact that the Chargers know Jets will (and must) run the ball to have success on offense.


Strength on Strength




Philip Rivers leads a Chargers’ offense that was the fifth best passing team in the NFL during the regular season (271.1 YPG). Darrelle Revis leads a Jets’ defense that was ranked first overall and first against the pass. Something has got to give, right?


The challenge for the Jets will be dealing with San Diego’s vast arsenal of weapons. WR Vincent Jackson and TE Antonio Gates each had over 1,000 yards receiving in 2009 and six players caught at least 20 passes. Oh yeah, they still have LaDainian Tomlinson in the backfield. And although he’s not the player he once was, he’s still very dangerous and has the ability to score on any given play.


You have to figure that Revis will get matched up on Jackson and S Kerry Rhodes will take on Gates. But what about Malcolm Floyd and Legedu Naanee? There’s also Darren Sproles who caught 45 passes coming out of the backfield and FB Mike Tobert who caught 25. See what I mean?


If there’s any week where the Jets dress as many defensive backs as possible, it’s this week. Rex Ryan is a defensive mastermind and will surely come up with something that the Chargers have yet to see on film. It should be interesting to watch when these two units are on the field.


Steady Sanchez




Last week Mark Sanchez had the highest quarterback rating (139.4) for any rookie in a playoff game—ever! And while it’s unlikely that he will replicate that performance, the Jets are going to need to him to continue to play smart, turnover-free football if they’re going to have a chance to beat the Chargers.


As I pointed out before last week’s game, there will come multiple points in the game where the Jets will face 3rd-and-long and Sanchez will have to make a throw in a big spot, under pressure. The outcomes of those plays will ultimately determine the Jets’ chances in this game.


Last week he passed the test. Jets’ fans are hoping he passes his second exam this week.

Can anybody discuss this in a calm way?

Ready to Bolt

What's the biggest key to a Jets victory on Sunday?


The trash-talking was toned down Friday, with just some loose banter in Gang Green's locker room. There were no bold guarantees, just Jets talking about their belief in themselves. After a week of beating their chests, the Jets left New Jersey quietly, turning their focus toward beating the Chargers while heading out to San Diego for tomorrow's AFC divisional playoff game.


Think of it as the confident calm before tomorrow's storm.


After a light practice Friday, during which the Jets blared the Chargers' fight song from speakers on the sidelines just once, Rex Ryan's gang left its training facility with a new sense of confidence.


"If you just look at it on paper, we match up well against these guys," tackle Damien Woody said before the Jets arrived in San Diego Friday night. "I've heard people say we don't even have a chance to go out there and win. I am looking at it and I don't understand why not."


That confidence is something that had been missing from recent Jets playoff teams, defensive end Shaun Ellis said.


"Last time we went to the playoffs with (former coach Eric) Mangini, we were a little antsy, we weren't settled and we couldn't get settled and it kept us off-balance," said Ellis, who in his 10th season is the longest-tenured Jet. "I remember telling myself, 'The next time we get to the playoffs, we have to be a calm and settled bunch, we just can't be out there rattling ourselves, we can't be fighting against ourselves.'


"This team is different," Ellis added, looking around a quiet locker room. "We are a confident bunch."


Some would say that is an understatement. Ryan, the brash first-year coach who weeks earlier mistakenly declared his team out of the playoffs, last week boldly printed up a postseason schedule that included a trip to the Super Bowl and a save-the-date for a parade up the Canyon of Heroes. To outsiders, that approach may seem overly confident, but inside the locker room, the Jets' players believe in their new identity.


"Coaches have said that we had an identity before, but we didn't have one. This is the first team I've been on that you know what you are going to get, you know who you are and you know what it takes for us to win as a team," said guard Brandon Moore. "I think that's where our comfort comes from. You know what it takes to win, you know who you are, and that brings that confidence that you see in us."


That boldness made a difference last week when the Jets were underdogs going into Cincinnati, wide receiver Jerricho Cotchery said. Unlike their last playoff game, a wild-card loss to the Patriots three years ago, the Jets were not intimidated by what was ahead of them.


"I didn't get the sense we knew where we were headed," Cotchery said of the 2006 Jets team that lost to the Patriots. "But this team is definitely a confident team. We feel like we have the talent in the room to make a run at it. I definitely feel that confidence from everyone in here. There is no doubt at all in this locker room."
