It Meant A Lot For Chad To Beat Jets - Per Leftwich
Byron Leftwich says he doesn’t understand why the Jets dumped Pennington for Favre. When talking about Pennington beating the Jets in Week 17, “He won’t say it, but I will: It meant a lot to him,” Leftwich said. “Sometimes when you feel you’re getting the short end of the stick or you’re the fall guy … He watched me go through it as a player (in Jacksonville) and he helped me. So when it was happening to him, I tried to help him through the process … Football is justice. It (a showdown against the Jets) was going to happen. There was no other way.
