Earlier, the Jets got to work right away, going 73 yards on their opening drive for a 7-0 lead on Washington's 18-yard catch-and-run. New York blew a scoring chance on its next possession when Jay Feely was wide left on a 36-yard field goal.
Kansas City took advantage of another turnover by Favre, whose pass to Cotchery was intercepted by Flowers. Favre stayed on the ground for a few moments after he was hit from behind by Tamba Hali and left guard Alan Faneca fell on him. He was looked at by trainers, but came back in on the Jets' next series.
The Chiefs needed just four plays to capitalize. Gonzalez brought down a high pass from Thigpen in double coverage to tie it.
Washington gave the Jets a 14-7 lead with 1:48 remaining in the half on a career-high 60-yard sprint. The Chiefs tied it with 4 seconds left in the half on an 11-yard catch by Mark Bradley, a play that was originally called incomplete but was overturned by a video review.
New York took a 21-17 lead with 48 seconds left in the third quarter when Jones bulldozed in from 1 yard.
"It's easy to smile and feel good about yourselves as a team when you win a game like that," Favre said. "We have some things to clean up, but 4-3 is not too bad right now."
Notes: Jets tight end Chris Baker, linebacker David Harris and fullback Tony Richardson left with undisclosed injuries, while Chiefs running back (sprained ankle) and cornerback Patrick Surtain (quadriceps) were injured for Kansas City. ... The Jets celebrated the 40th anniversary of the 1969 Super Bowl team with a halftime ceremony that included 36 former players, including Joe Namath. ... With six catches, Gonzalez moved into 11th place on the career list with 853 receptions.
