Quarterback Matt Flynn is the king of big performances in meaningless games. That's what he did when he set the Green Bay Packers' single-game record for passing yards in the 2012 regular season finale against the Detroit Lions, and it's also what he did in the New York Jets' 24-18 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles in the preseason finale on Thursday night.
Flynn was 10-of-14 passing for 136 yards, two touchdowns and an interception. His 18-yard strike to wide receiver Chris Owusu in the first quarter put the Jets up by a touchdown, and his checkdown to running back Zac Stacy turned into a 5-yard catch-and-run that resulted in an 11-point Jets lead in the second quarter.
