In part four of our NFL week two preview, we’ll look at two NFL games. I will review the following games: the Patriots and the Jets and the Titans against the Chargers. Both games have potential playoff implications. The Patriots will likely get their second easy game in a row, while the Chargers face a bigger task this week. We’ll see.

New England Patriots at New York Jets

The New England Patriots got a treat last week when Buffalo Bills quarterback JP Losman danced into his own end zone and got tackled. The Patriots’ safety gave them a 19-17 lead as time ran out. The end result was a victory for the Patriots. The New York Jets seemed a bit resurgent when quarterback Chad Pennington passed for 319 yards and two TDs. The Jets went to Tennessee and stunned the Titans team by beating them 23-16.

The Patriots have owned the Jets for the past three seasons. This Sunday they will arrive in New York looking to extend their winning streak against the Jets. Will this be the week the Jets upset the Patriots? While Tom Brady played poorly in the Patriots’ opener, Maroney looked great on the ground. The Jets had 91 rushing yards last week, but they lacked a man to help them. 71 of those 91 yards were split between running backs Blaylock and Barlow.

Choose: Jets Why? I like upsets. If Pennington throws for 300-plus yards again, it could be a long day for the New England defense.

Tennessee Titans at San Diego Chargers

Tennessee was shocked last week when the Jets came to town and beat them. The difference in the game was the play of Kerry Collins who once again showed that he is not a great QB. Collins was 17-of-38 for 223, not a great completion percentage. He did complete two passes to defense. It wasn’t all his fault. The Titans’ receivers were dropping passes. The offense seems to lack continuity. Vince Young made his NFL debut going 3-for-4 for 27 yards, but threw an interception. How long will it be before Titans fans start pushing for Young to start?

The Chargers had child’s play on Monday night when they beat the Raiders 27-0 in Oakland. The Raiders couldn’t even score in garbage time. Tomlinson had 131 yards, but 58 of them came on a single run. He had 31 keys. Rivers only threw 11 passes for the Chargers and that’s probably what he’ll have this week as well. The Chargers want to ease his entry into the game. The most important thing for them is that you don’t make mistakes. They still don’t have him for the big games. He had 108 receiving yards last week and could get more of the same this week.

Choose: Chargers Why? They are at home and have won the last 3 meetings against the Titans. The Chargers defense could also win with a couple of interceptions.
