Falcons...10 Jets...7
Key: Tony Gonzalez caught a six-yard touchdown pass from Matt Ryan on a fourth-down play with 1:38 remaining to win it. The Jets led, 7-3, most of the way, and missed three field-goal chances to increase the lead -- one on a botched snap, another kicked wide right and the third blocked with 4:27 to go.
Falcons said: “As a man taking pride in what you do for a living and loving what you do, you owe it to yourself and the fans and the organization to go out there and play your butt off. That’s what we did.” -- Gonzalez, tight end
Jets said: “It’s tough to swallow. It’s never good to play that poorly. We played well in spurts and then we’d turn the ball over.” -- Mark Sanchez, quarterback
