NASHVILLE, Nov. 23 (UPI) -- Brett Favre and Leon Washington accounted for four touchdowns Sunday, keying the New York Jets' 34-13 win over Tennessee, the Titans' first loss this season.
It was the NFC East-leading Jets' fifth win in a row.

Thomas Jones gained 96 yards on 27 carries.
Coles and Jericho Cotchery combined for 13 catches for 143 yards, and Favre established an NFL record with his 14th straight 20-touchdown season in his first year with the Jets (8-3) after a short-lived retirement . He spent his first 13 seasons with Green Bay.
Tennessee's Kerry Collins completed 21-of-39 passes for one touchdown and 243 yards.
Chris Johnson gained 46 yards on 10 carries for the Titans, who were out-gained 409-281 and fell to 10-1.
