EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. Jets 5-0 for first time ever; beat San Fran., 22-14

The Jets will risk their perfect record Sunday against the unbeaten Patriots.
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) -- Jonathan Vilma heard about the Jets' quest to make history before he played in his first professional game.
Back in May, Vilma remembered coach Herman Edwards preaching about the need to make something positive happen for the franchise. The rookie linebacker helped make it happen Sunday.
Chad Pennington keyed a second-half rally, and Vilma sealed it with an interception, guiding New York to a 22-14 victory over San Francisco.
Though the Jets struggled in the first half, they made it to 5-0 for the first time in their 45-year history.
"It means a lot," Vilma said of the 5-0 start. "We have been talking about it for the longest time, and we have just been executing and playing."
The Jets have feasted on weak opponents so far, beating teams that are a combined 6-22. Things get much harder next Sunday, when they play at undefeated New England.
49ers had 14-0 lead
They certainly made things hard on themselves against San Francisco (1-5), which came in with an overtime victory over lowly Arizona. The 49ers jumped out to a 14-0 lead, but defensive coordinator Donnie Henderson got his crew going after coming down from the coaches box to the sideline, and Pennington got the offense moving with a fiery halftime speech.
"That's the maddest I've ever seen Chad," said running back Curtis Martin, who had 111 yards on 25 carries and two touchdowns, while passing Marcus Allen for eighth place on the NFL's career rushing list with 12,282 yards.
Pennington finished 20-of-30 for 222 yards, going 11-of-14 for 117 yards in the second half. After halftime, the Jets shut out the 49ers and limited Tim Rattay to 93 yards passing. Rattay finished 18-of-28 for 286 yards with a touchdown and an interception.
The Jets began their comeback in the third quarter when LaMont Jordan capped a 91-yard drive with a 17-yard scoring run. On their next series, Pennington went to work again, leading the Jets 70 yards. Martin scored from the 1 to give the Jets the lead. New York failed on both two-point attempts.
But San Francisco had two good chances to take the lead, trailing 15-14.
Out of field goal range
The 49ers got the ball at their 38 with 7:38 to go and drove to New York's 27 before Arnaz Battle fumbled a toss from Rattay on an end-around and lost 8 yards, knocking them out of field goal range.
Then, with the ball on the San Francisco 35 with 1:44 remaining, Vilma picked off Rattay's poorly thrown pass, ending any hope of a rally. Martin added a 9-yard touchdown run for the final margin.
"We've got find a way to win," San Francisco coach Dennis Erickson said. "We've got to make plays at the end. We're finding a way to not make plays."
Now San Francisco has to deal with more injuries going into the bye week. Guard Justin Smiley (knee bruise), cornerback Ahmed Plummer (thigh strain), Barlow (shoulder), fullback Terry Jackson (toe sprain), Lloyd (calf bruise) and tackle Scott Gragg (hip bruise) were hurt, but Erickson said none of the injures are considered serious.
