Randy Moss makes a great, great, great catch for a tying TD as New York allows the Pats right down the field. Mangini will hear about the switch to the prevent defense in the last 1:20 in the papers and on the FAN if the J-E-T-S go down in overtime.

Again, a comback will only come on Matt Cassel’s shoulders.
This is the most important 4:57 of his pro career coming up.
