Jets held the ball for only 20 plays in the first half, managing all of four first downs and minus-2 passing yards. By the time it ended, Sanchez completed 14 of 22 passes for 163 yards, no interceptions and a 101.1 rating. In the process, he might have developed some chemistry with some receivers. "I think we opened things up," Sanchez said. "We threw the ball a little more, and it balanced our attack ... We needed to set the tempo and make a statement on offense, and I felt like we did." He can take credit for avoiding interceptions while relying on the Jets' defense to maintain control. In fact, watching the Pats' Tom Brady falter under pressure from the Jets' defense, Sanchez said he "felt" for the man regarded as one of the best QBs in the NFL. "Our defense is full of studs," Sanchez said. "I play against them every day, and I know how hard it is. It feels like you're playing against 20 people."
