The defense was led by linebackers Adalius Thomas (9 tackles, 1.5 sacks) and Junior Seau (9 tackles, 2 sacks) on Sunday.  Safety Eugene Wilson only made 1 tackle but he returned a interception 5 yards for a TD in the first quarter of this game.  The Jets finished up with 90 yards rushing on 17 carries (5.3 ypc) and they also completed 25 of 40 passes for 146 yards.
