EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J.—Mark Sanchez threw three touchdown passes to Plaxico Burress, including the game-winner with 8:41 left, and Darrelle Revis set up that score with a 64-yard interception return as the New York Jets stormed back from an 11-point halftime deficit to stun the San Diego Chargers 27-21 Sunday in front of 79,088 at MetLife Stadium.
The Jets trailed 21-10 at the half, but they once again clamped down on defense in producing their second double-digit, second-half comeback of the season.
Sanchez's 4-yard touchdown pass to Burress pulled the Jets within 21-17, after which the teams traded three-and-outs before Philip Rivers' pass glanced off Vincent Jackson's fingers and into the hands of Revis, who raced 64 yards up the right sideline before Rivers and Randy McMichael combined to knock him out of bounds. Sanchez and Burress hooked up for the third time five plays later.
It was the second game-turning interception of the week for Revis, who took an interception back 100 yards for a touchdown to spark the Jets to a 24-6 win over the Miami Dolphins on Monday night.
The Jets, who were outgained by Miami 173-10 in the first quarter Monday yet led the Dolphins 14-6 at the half, were the ones with the misleading first-half statistical advantage Sunday. New York had outgained San Diego 123-31 in the first quarter yet trailed 7-3. Chargers linebacker Donald Butler forced a fumble by Dustin Keller and returned it 37 yards for a touchdown, and Eric Weddle intercepted a Sanchez pass intended for Burress in the end zone.
A pair of long touchdown drives by the Chargers—a 14-play, 78-yard march spanning the first and second quarters, and an 11-play, 87-yard jaunt late in the second—extended the lead to 21-10 and had San Diego seemingly primed for a blowout win. But the Jets limited the Chargers to four first downs and two three-and-outs and picked off Rivers twice the rest of the way.
Rivers had the Chargers near midfield following the go-ahead score but was picked off by Kyle Wilson. Sanchez, who earlier in the game had a career-long 25-yard run, bootlegged for a first down on third-and-1 to all but put the game away at the two-minute warning. Nick Folk's 30-yard field goal with 1:36 left provided the final margin. A desperation drive by the Chargers ended with a turnover on downs with three seconds left at their own 49.
Sanchez completed 18 of 33 passes for 173 yards. Shonn Greene finished with a season-high 112 yards on 20 carries for the Jets, while Burress, Keller and Jeremy Kerley all had four catches apiece.
Rivers was 16-for-32 for 179 yards. He had a 2-yard touchdown pass to Antonio Gates in the second quarter and the two key interceptions. San Diego's Mike Tolbert rushed 11 times for 58 yards and a touchdown, while Gates had five catches for 54 yards.
GAME NOTES: Butler's fumble recovery was the first of the season for the Chargers, who were one of just three teams (along with the Jacksonville Jaguars and Kansas City Chiefs) who had yet to recover a fumble in 2011. … With a catch in the first quarter, New York's LaDainian Tomlinson became the fourth running back in history to record at least 600 receptions. The others: Larry Centers (827), Marshall Faulk (767) and Keith Byars (610). … Burress' three-touchdown game was the second of his career and his first since Sept. 9, 2007, when he had one for the New York Giants against the Dallas Cowboys.
