It was over when
Jets quarterback Kellen Clemens took the field. Taking over in the third quarter, Clemens went an efficient 6-of-8 for 122 yards. He did throw one interception -- mostly due to an impressive one-handed interception by Giants cornerback J.R. Reed -- but also scored a one-yard touchdown on a quarterback sneak that helped the Jets secure the victory.
