EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — Brett Favre hung out on the New York Jets’ sideline after calling it an early day, relishing a rout that was unlike any other in franchise history.
“It’s proof positive of what this team is capable of being,” Favre said.
The Jets took advantage of every mistake by the St. Louis Rams, making their 47-3 rout look more like a scrimmage than an NFL game. They planned to celebrate for at least a few hours before they started to prepare for their big matchup at New England on Thursday.
Thomas Jones had three TD runs, Jay Feely kicked four field goals -- including a franchise record-tying 55-yarder -- and the Jets (6-3) converted five turnovers into 27 points. The Rams fell to 2-7.
Quoteworthy: “It definitely feels good to be at this point right now.” -- Brett Favre, Jets quarterback
