Jets Dominate Second Half, Fall Short

After a dominating performance in the first half by the Steelers, the Jets responded big in the second half but fell up just short 24-19.  The Jets proved that the first half wasn't a joke by dominating the Steelers in the second half like the Steelers did to them in the first.  The Jets defense stepped up big, forcing a shut-out in the second half and stopping Big Ben.  But the Jets offense failed to convert on a 4th and Goal which may have costed them the game.  Although they got a safety on the next play and scored a touchdown on their next drive, it took valuable time off the clock, leaving the Jets Super Bowl-less.  The Steelers victory should set-up a great Super Bowl against the Packers.
