...Jets went 56 yards in eight plays, sparked by Testaverde's completions of 20 yards to Keyshawn Johnson, 14 to Wayne Chrebet and 11 to Jerald Sowell to the New England 5.

And as hard as it is to apply the term "charity case" to a convicted rapist, the strange saga of Mike Tyson -- bolstered by the testimony of Muhammad Ali and Magic Johnson -- may actually have softened a few hearts Monday.
