1) October 23rd, 2000 vs. Miami:
(“The Monday Night Miracle”)
In front of 78,389 of their fans the New York Jets were getting hammered 30-7
with only 12 seconds left in the third quarter. NYJ QB #16 Vinny Testaverde had three
INT's, NYJ RB #28 Curtis Martin was held in check, and the Jet defense could not
stop the Dolphins. The once packed Meadowlands was almost empty as fans headed
toward the gates with a glazed look upon their faces. Then it happened. The Jets
stormed back in one of the greatest comebacks in NFL history. Wayne Chrebet
pulled in 6 receptions for 104 yards and scored 2 TD's, including a 24-yarder from
Vinny Testaverde that tied the score at 30-30. Chrebet also set up NYJ K #9 John
Hall's game winning 40-yard FG with a 28 yard catch.
2) September 24th, 2000: ("The Flashlight Strikes Back")
Former Jets WR Keyshawn Johnson said before the
game that comparing Wayne Chrebet to himself "is like comparing a flashlight to a star: flashlights only last so long, and
a star is in the sky forever." But Keyshawn Johnson only mustered a single catch
for a single yard in the game. Wayne Chrebet quietly went about his business and
caught an 18-yard TD pass from Curtis Martin with 52 seconds left to give the Jets a
21-17 victory over the Buccaneers and lift the Jets to a 4-0 record.
