EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- After struggling all game, Brett Favre connected with Laveranues Coles for a 15-yard touchdown pass with one minute left as the New York Jets escaped with a 28-24 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs.
The favored Jets overcame three interceptions by Favre and the upset-minded Chiefs (1-6), who were using their third-string quarterback.
Leon Washington returned Steve Weatherford’s punt 37 yards to give the Jets (4-3) field position at the Chiefs’ 46.
After taking a sack, Favre passed to Chansi Stuckey for 18 yards, Dustin Keller for five and Washington for five. After Washington’s five-yard run, Favre floated a pass to Coles, who fought off Dimitri Patterson to make a one-handed catch in the end zone.
Quoteworthy: “I knew one thing: I’d go down swinging, however that may be.” -- Brett Favre, Jets quarterback
