EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J., Nov. 29 (UPI) -- Rookie Mark Sanchez avoided the big mistake while the defense gave up just 176 total yards Sunday and the New York Jets bagged a 17-6 win over Carolina.
Before Sunday's victory, the first-round draft pick had thrown six interceptions in the past two contests, including four in last Sunday's 31-14 loss to New England, but the one he threw against Carolina did not affect the outcome.
