Favre, Jets
hand Titans first loss of season
34-13
Brett Favre gave the Tennessee Titans a painful reminder Sunday.
He will pick apart the best NFL defenses when given too much time.
Favre threw two touchdown passes, Leon Washington ran for two scores and the New
York Jets served notice they will be a factor in the AFC this season by routing
the Titans 34-13, ending the perfect start by the NFL’s last undefeated team.
“I’m not going to sit here and say we’ve established ourselves as the best team
in football,” Favre said. “All it says is I think we beat the best team in
football today, definitely if you go by record and the way that they’ve played.
They have been the best team in football.”
The Jets (8-3) came in atop the AFC East after a victory over New England at
Foxborough. They have won five straight for the first time since October 2004
and seven of their last eight. The win also pulled them within two of Tennessee
(10-1) with five to play in the race for home-field advantage through the
playoffs...more

Preview:
Not so long ago, Brett
Favre and Kerry Collins weren't
even expected to be starting
this season. Now two of the
NFL's oldest and most
experienced quarterbacks will
square off in the most highly
anticipated game of Week 12.
With the New York Jets having
ridden Favre's arm to first
place and the Tennessee Titans
only recently relying more on
Collins to stay unbeaten, the
team that wins Sunday might be
considered the AFC favorite to
reach the Super Bowl...
Prediction: The league's No.
2 attack (Jets) against the league's top D. Tennessee is feeling awfully good
after that comeback win against Jacksonville. Just remember, Brett Favre is
4-0 against Kerry Collins we think Collins gets his first win over Favre here
though. Titans 24 - Jets 21
Video Preview: Tennessee
heads into New York undefeated. Can the Jets be the team that stops them?
