Game Recap

August 17, 2008


The Brett Favre era continues, but in a different shade of green as the Jets faced off in preseason game Week Two against the Washington Redskins. Brett started off his first drive faced with a fourth and one and elected to go for it after talking with his offensive coordinator. And, it worked.

By the time Favre was done with the first quarter, he threw a touchdown pass to wide receiver Dustin Keller and it was his second series of the ball game.

Favre said that “it worked out better than [he] thought it would, not that [he] thought it would go badly.”

Favre would finish his say with 46 yards passing on five out of six throws.

Backup QB Kellen Clemens went 5-for-12 with 63 yards passing, while third string QB Brett Ratliff was 13-for-19 with 146 yards on the day. The only other score came from two Mike Nugent field goals.

Washington would win the game 13-10 on a late Colt Brennan touchdown pass to Jason Goode with 1:09 remaining in the fourth quarter.

Next week, the Jets face the Giants and the Redskins will play the Panthers in Carolina.
