Sanchez hurt, Smith inconsistent, Jets win 24-21 in OT against Giants
• EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) -- Rookie Geno Smith may end up being the Jets' No. 1 quarterback by default.
• After shaky performance in his first NFL start, Smith might have backed into the starting job Saturday night when Mark Sanchez hurt his right shoulder late in the fourth quarter in a 24-21 overtime win over the Giants.
• Jets coach Rex Ryan refused to disclose the nature of Sanchez's injury after the annual game for the bragging rights of New York.
• Sanchez (5 of 6 for 72 yards and a fumble) lay on the turf for about a minute after being hit by defensive tackle Marvin Austin seconds after completing a 23-yard pass to Mohamed Massaquoi.
• The Jets' starter since 2009, Sanchez tried to throw a practice pass on the sideline, but he shook his head after making one short toss -- possibly a shake-off that gives Smith (16 of 32 for 199 and three interceptions) the starting job.
