Portis gets my vote hands down. Nice comeback to hopefully quiet his critics. The guy is a workhorse, he never gives up, and he just has a heart for the game. He throws his body into it with reckless abandon (remember the pre-season game last year when he got hurt? he wasn't gonna let
anybody return that interception for a TD regardless of whether or not it was a pre-season game). I would also give a game ball to the left side of the O-line. They were money. 26 times they opened up holes for CP to dash through. Hold the comments about how bad the Jets D-line may have been, fact is our O-line on the left side exploited them and did what was needed.
