HERO
This wasn’t just a Plaxico Burress sighting — it was a full-fledged turning back of the clock. Practically MIA most of his first season with the Jets, Burress looked like the mismatch he was in his Giants heyday while matching a career-high with three touchdown grabs.
UNSUNG HERO
A huge bust with the Bills, Aaron Maybin appears to have found his niche as a third-down pass rush specialist with the Jets. He was a Tasmanian devil yesterday, recording a sack, a tackle for a loss and two hits on Rivers. The much-needed injection of speed the former Penn State first-rounder brings to the Jets is impressive.

ZERO
Remember when Philip Rivers was an elite quarterback? It seems like a distant memory after yet another dreadful display by the Chargers’ signal-caller, who threw two costly interceptions and completed just 8 of 20 passes for 87 yards in the second half while San Diego was outscored 17-0.
KEY MOMENT
For the second time in six days, a Darrelle Revis interception provided the pivotal momentum swing for the Jets. Revis wasn’t able to take this one to the house like he did Monday night against Miami, but his 64-yard return of a deflected pass early in the fourth quarter set up the go-ahead TD.
