K Jay Feely looks up in disgust after missing a 38-yard field goal right before halftime. That was only part of the Jets’ field goal problems, though. Earlier in the game, Kellen Clemens mishandled the snap on a 19-yard attempt and Feely had a 37-yarder blocked in the fourth quarter. Charles Wenzelberg/New York Post
