Pennington emerges from his own shadow

Woj on Pennington coming back to life.

I liked this sequence.
Most of all, he was there for the Jets when they needed him most here. After Eric Barton had been flagged for that unthinkable roughing the passer penalty when it looked like the Jets had stolen the game, after San Diego's Drew Brees turned the egregious error into a touchdown pass for overtime, Barton searched out Pennington on the sidelines.
"I need you to get me out of this," Barton told his quarterback.
"I got your back," Pennington promised.
