    The right play is to slide down and then have Sanchez KNEEL the ball so that the Jets would seal the victory up by 2. Returning the interception for a touchdown could have led the Vikings to score a TD, recover an onside kick and then win the game. I don't care how unlikely that would have been. The right move is to END the game by kneeling.

    So if you got messed over by the Vikings, here's one more thing to be pissed about

    Fortunately, I bet on the JETS.

                            It's the right play if there is only endzone in front of you and the TD puts you ahead by more than 8 points, which in this case it did. It's only a mistake if the TD puts you ahead by 8 or less.

                              It's still a mistake because it puts the ball in Minnesota's hands possibly for the rest of the game. If he goes down the game is over.

                                Actually not true because Minny was out of time-outs. The right play would have been to just go down and remove all doubt. Sure, chances were remote for Minny to score, recover onside and score again, but why give them ANY chance?

                                          If scoring the TD would put you up by less than 8 then you pretty much need the TD.

                                            No if you are up by 1, you best be getting down.

                                              You guys are wrong. Vikings would have had to drive the length of the field, score, recover the onsides kick and get in field goal range. Playing prevent defense basically takes care of the clock.

                                              Maybe in college...maybe...

                                                That's why I said less than 8, then you better not be going down, like a prom date.

                                                  k I think we agree, but if you are up by 1, a TD puts you up by 8. Not less than 8. So if your two choices are their ball up by 8 or yours up by 1 where taking a knee ends the game, then you don't score that TD.

                                                    He picked the ball at full speed on the 20 yard line. He bobbled it for about 5 yards and the field was wet. His adrenaline was very high after the pick. By the time his brain send the message to his feet to put the brakes down and go down by himself he was already in the end zone. It took 2 seconds from the time he intercepted the ball to reach the end zone running at 25 mph.

His adrenaline was very high after the pick. By the time his brain send the message to his feet to put the brakes down and go down by himself he was already in the end zone. It took 2 seconds from the time he intercepted the ball to reach the end zone running at 25 mph.

Returning the interception for a touchdown could have led the Vikings to score a TD, recover an onside kick and then win the game. I don't care how unlikely that would have been. The right move is to END the game by kneeling.

                                                                So if you got messed over by the Vikings, here's one more thing to be pissed about

                                                                Fortunately, I bet on the JETS.
                                                                I was on the vikings so yes i am pissed about the pick 6 but youcant expect the guy to kneel down from that spot on field. maybe picked at 20 or 25 with a little traffic between him and the end zone ok. not from that spot with clear field. the more fukked up thing is favre had the angle to push him out and shiancoe was in his hip pocket when he picked it. could of tackled him.
