The Jets didn't need Mark Sanchez to defeat the Bucs Sunday at Raymond James Stadium. Truth be told, they probably could've beaten the lowly Bucs with Rex Ryan at quarterback.
With Kellen Clemens at the controls, the Jets cruised to their third straight win, 26-3, staying alive in the AFC playoff chase. They improved to 7-6, moving into a four-way tie for the final wild-card spot. The Dolphins,Jaguars and Ravens also have 7-6 records. The Dolphins and Jaguars hold tiebreakers over the Jets, so they're still facing an uphill climb.
Clemens, replacing the injured Sanchez (knee), made his first start in nearly two years. He completed 12 of 23 passes for 111 yards. His passing was unimpressive, but he managed to stay out of the way.
