CLEVELAND (AP) — Santonio Holmes scored on a 37-yard touchdown pass from Mark Sanchez with 16 seconds left in overtime, giving the New York Jets a 26-20 win over the Cleveland Browns on Sunday for their eighth straight regular-season road win.
It was the second consecutive overtime victory for the Jets (7-2), who won 23-20 in Detroit a week ago. New York overcame three missed field goals by Nick Folk, including a 47-yarder in OT.
On first down, Sanchez whipped a quick pass to Holmes, who after catching it, stepped inside of rookie safety T.J. Ward and sprinted into the end zone.
The Browns (3-6) had rallied to force OT on rookie quarterback Colt McCoy’s 3-yard TD pass to Mohamed Massaquoi with 44 seconds left in regulation.
