Youngsters shine as Rex's Jets KO Bengals

The NFL's Wild Card Weekend is halfway over, and the New York Jets' Super Bowl aspirations remain alive and well.

Coach Rex Ryan led Gang Green into Cincinnati Saturday night and eliminated the favored AFC North Champion Bengals, 24-14. (Don't think they socked the Bungals in the gut? Read this columnist lamenting life in Cincy.)

Here are my five stars of the game:

1) Shonn Greene
Rookie running back had his coming out party, bowling over Bengal defenders to the tune of 135 rushing yards and a touchdown.

2) Mark Sanchez
"The Sanchize" played every bit the nickname, notching his best game as a pro on the biggest stage. Completed a whopping 80 percent of his passes, a record for a rookie QB in the playoffs.

3) Darrelle Revis
Next time Ochostinko drifts to Revis Island, he'd better borrow my daughter's swimmies and waterproof diapers. Revis is the biggest defensive star to grace the Jets since the Sack Exchange.

4) Woody Johnson

Owner may be short on people skills, but he loves this football team and, amid a personal tragedy of epic proportions, he made the trip to Cincinnati. This one was for Woody!

5) Dustin Keller
Tight end was making plays all over the place, with a touchdown, a 43-yard pass that set up another score and a nasty block that cleared the path for Greene's touchdown run.
