The Giants win in overtime (finally), the Jets lose their sixth game of the last seven and more playoffs hopes, and the Knicks' winning streak ends at two, with a Celtics loss.

Earlier this week, the Post revealed that Jets coach Rex Ryan broke down in tears when addressing his 4-5 team on Monday morning. To say the least, some of the players were shocked, with Darrell Revis saying, "I was a little upset to see him that way. I'm upset for the same reasons he's upset." Ryan said, "I'm just being myself and sometimes that happens. Very rarely, but it happens," but some New Yorkers want the 340-pound coach to keep his emotions to himself—or at least at home. One told the Daily News, "You can't be crying like that. He should go home and cry on his wife's shoulder, not in the locker room. This is New York."

Mark Sanchez is 3-0 and the first rookie quarterback since the AFL and NFL merged in 1970 to reach that mark. The Jets are flying high despite a brutal schedule and the implementation of a new system. A game at New Orleans against the high-flying Saints offense could be their stiffest test yet.

Another Twitter oops, this time in the world of professional sports: Jets receiver David Clowney was benched during the team's victory over Tennessee because he Tweet-complained about his playing time in the previous win over the Patriots: "1 play in the 1st Half, 4 plays in the 2nd half ... A bit disappointed about my playing time but very happy and satisfied about the win."

Raise your hand if you had the Jets at 2-0. Put them down if your first name isn't Rex or Mark. Not too many left, right? The surprising Jets go for their third straight win Sunday against the Tennessee Titans, the best team in the AFC during the 2008 regular season. But the Titans will be hungry for their first win after losses to Pittsburgh and Houston to open their season.

Rex Ryan has now coached the Jets for two games and his defense has yet to give up a touchdown. Tom Brady could not find his way into the end zone this afternoon and the Jets stunned New England with a 16-9 upset at the Meadowlands, backing up their big talk all week.

A Jets beatdown of the Texans, a Patriots escape against the Bills and Rex Ryan's new attitude have the Jets in a chipper mood as they prepare to face the Patriots at home Sunday. Kerry Rhodes, who said the Jets wanted to "embarrass," not simply beat, the Patriots, is especially excited for the game. As if this rivalry needed any more juice.

Who has more pressure? Rookie quarterback Mark Sanchez, who is guaranteed to make $28 million, or rookie head coach Rex Ryan, who's been nothing short of outspoken since taking the job? Probably Sanchez, who has become a bit of a New York icon before playing a regular-season snap. Rookie quarterbacks can succeed in the NFL — just ask Joe Flacco and Matt Ryan — but they more often fall flat on their faces.

Clearly sick of wasting press conference time disguising the inevitable, Jets' Head Coach Rex Ryan has reportedly given the starting quarterback job to rookie Mark Sanchez. FoxSports broke the news that Ryan told Sanchez and Kellen Clemens this morning before making the decision official at his next press conference this afternoon. Ryan had said early on in camp that he was hoping to avoid any dragged-out controversy by naming his starter for September 13th's season opener before the third preseason game and apparently stuck with that, despite Sanchez looking like a deer in headlights when he stepped onto the field against the tough Ravens' defense Monday night. The Jets' new coach said he would not hesitate in going into the season with a rookie running the huddle after seeing the success Joe Flacco had last year while Ryan was coaching in Baltimore. Other than Sanchez's flashy first pass, neither he nor Clemens have made a clear case for the job in the two exhibitions. But if there's been any general consensus from local media on the SoCal youngster, it's that it must be difficult to say no to this Sex in Spikes.

Rex Ryan stepped to the podium and announced that he expects his team to meet President Obama in the next few years as Super Bowl winners. It was the start of an entertaining and feisty press conference from a coach who clearly doesn’t lack confidence and learned a number of lessons from his father, Buddy. Ryan was not as confident on other burning topics. While saying that “Anybody would want Brett Favre to be their quarterback,” he did add, “All the particulars we’ll get into later. The rest of it, I’m not prepared to answer.” He mentioned assistants from Eric Mangini’s staff who would be joining his, but admitted he still needs to talk to Brian Schottenheimer.

The next head coach of the Jets will be Rex Ryan, who will step down from his current post as the coordinator of the well-respected Baltimore Ravens defense. The Jets are reported to have made an offer almost immediately following the Ravens' loss to Pittsburgh in last night's AFC Championship. ESPN says that the terms are almost identical to the four-year, $11.5 million deal signed over the weekend by former Giants Defensive Coordinator Steve Spagnuolo to become the new head coach of the St. Louis Rams.

The only issue that feels more drawn out than the Senate replacement around the Big Apple these days is who will succeed Eric Mangini as the next coach of the Jets. The latest contender is Rex Ryan, current defensive coordinator for the Baltimore Ravens, fresh off the team's Divisional Playoff victory yesterday in Tennessee. Jets owner Woody Johnson and GM Mike Tannenbaum are heading to Baltimore to interview him. Ryan is the son of former head coach Buddy Ryan, mastermind of the legendary Eagles defenses in the early '90s. One fan of his is the quarterback Ryan's defense picked apart last weekend, former Jet Chad Pennington. He told the Star-Ledger, "Rex has a unique scheme and Baltimore has very unique players...He maximizes their talent." One of those unique players, Ray Lewis, recently told the press, "Coaching-wise, Rex is one thing, but as a man, when you try to talk to him, he's just like a father."
