N.Y. JETS 32, SEATTLE 31
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) - On a day when he nearly wore out his arm, Vinny
Testaverde used his legs to lift the New York Jets to a wild comeback
victory. And in this season of officiating bobbles, Testaverde got a kind
boost from the head linesman. A boost? Some say a gift.
"People told me it looked like it wasn't in," Testaverde said after his
5-yard sneak on fourth down with 20 seconds left Sunday was ruled a
touchdown, giving the Jets a 32-31 decision over the Seattle Seahawks. "I
got knocked around and sometimes you can't see the refs. There were a lot of
questions whether I was in or not, which is all the more reason for instant
replay."
Television replays clearly showed he didn't reach the end zone.
"It makes you sick," Seahawks coach Dennis Erickson said. After being
informed what the replay indicated, he added, "It makes you even sicker."
The Jets' AFC East championship hopes are healthy thanks to the last-minute
call. Testaverde called his own number after throwing a career-high 63
times, completing 42 for 418 yards and two TDs. And head linesman Earnie
Frantz immediately signaled the AFC's leading passer had won the game with
his run.
"He called it right away and signaled," said referee Phil Luckett, who also
conducted the now-infamous coin toss on Thanksgiving Day at Detroit. "There
was a pileup, but the head linesman had already called a touchdown for the
ball breaking the plane (of the goal line)."
Seahawks cornerback Shawn Springs wondered if the officials had been
"intimidated."
"The refs should really let the players decide the game," Springs said.
"Don't make a call that determines the outcome."
It was New York's sixth straight home victory and kept it atop the AFC East
at 9-4. It was constructed by the league's sixth-ranked offense, which
committed three turnovers, but had the moxie to overcome them.
"That's certainly many more passes than I've thrown in a game," Testaverde
said. "I hope there aren't many games like this, where I have to throw 60
times."
Testaverde found Keyshawn Johnson nine times for 114 yards and the TD that
closed the Jets to 31-26. He calmly led them downfield on their final drive,
and drove a stake in the playoff hopes of the Seahawks (6-7).
Joey Galloway burned Aaron Glenn, New York's best cover cornerback, on
almost identical first-quarter TDs. He ran under Jon Kitna's 70-yard pass to
tie the game at 7. Then Galloway beat Glenn on a 57-yard TD bomb. Glenn
later sprained his right ankle while making a leaping interception.
Seattle's Ricky Watters broke a 39-yard run on fourth-and-1 to make it 21-10
at the half.
Anthony Simmons picked off a sloppy Testaverde pass and rambled into the end
zone on the fourth play of the second half. Curtis Martin ran in from the 1,
but Fred Baxter tripped and dropped a 2-point conversion pass, making it
28-19.

E' andata di lusso,anche x le mie povere tasche uccise dagli
Steelers,squadra su cui non scommetterň mai piů.
Tornando ai Jets:le speranze di vincere la division sono intatte (devo
mandare un vaglia agli arbitri della partita?) e se continua cosě le
mie casse gioiranno (ho preso i Jets a 3 per la vittoria della
division).
Spero solo che dopo domenica Testaverde non debba usare un arto
artificiale ))))
