NEW YORK (AP) -The New York Jets will have some big challenges to deal with against the San Diego Chargers.
The top-ranked defense has to defend a pass-happy offense Sunday with quarterback Philip Rivers and his tall targets.
Antonio Gates, Vincent Jackson and Malcom Floyd are all at least 6-foot-4, and the Jets have one defensive back – safety Kerry Rhodes – taller than 6-1. Rhodes says the Jets might use the 6-3 Braylon Edwards on the scout team to help prepare for the height differential.
The Jets’ offensive line will also have to protect Mark Sanchez from a defense that likes to get to the quarterback with Shawne Merriman and Shaun Phillips leading the way.
Then there’s the biggest challenge of all: The Chargers have won 11 straight games.
