Plaxico Burress Crushes Mike Jenkins: Jets Receiver Delivers Huge Hit In Win Over Cowboys (VIDEO)

Plaxico Burress is back... just ask Dallas Cowboys cornerback Mike Jenkins.

Down two touchdowns in the fourth quarter of Sunday night's game against Cowboys, the Jets finally began to find some rhythm in the passing game, thanks largely to the stellar play by Burress.

Burress, who was seeing his first regular season action after spending two years in prison for gun charges, racked up 72 yards on four catches -- and one vicious block.

As Santonio Holmes weaved through traffic on his way to a 28-yard gain, Burress unloaded a clean block on Jenkins, who was sent flying.

The cornerback would have to leave the game with a shoulder injury, but would return later.

The Jets would comeback to win the contest 27-24, and for Burress, the block was certainly one way to shake the rust off.

"It feels like I never left," he told the Associated Press.

Looks like it too.

I wish someone would post where Jenkins (showing tremendous heart) comes back into the game and dumps Burress into the ground headfirst on the last drive...but to the victors belong the spoils

If Jenkins had not been injured coming into the game would it have occured? Or was it one player who happened to get lucky in one game because of injuries to another player? I'm not taking away from Plaxico's hit. He did what he was suppose to do but Jenkins probably would not have been in the game if Jerry Jones and the coaches had back-up players who could have stepped in.

I hate the Jets and Plaxico, but nothing makes me happier than seeing players at "glamour" positions getting their hits in. That was beautifully brutal.

Ouch nice block but I could've done without the gestures on the sideline while the man was still down and Plexico not knowing if the man was seriously hurt. 2 years in prision didn't do anything for his humility.

His childish remarks about Tom Coughlin weren't impressive either. And I think he is already missing the way E throws that back shoulder fade. Sanchez missed that at least once yesterday. There is a reason he and E had more TDs than any pair in the NFL when they were together. Their styles are perfect for each other. I am starting to think that maybe the reason E didn't visit him is because E doesn't actually like him.

The Giants will be sorry.

Sorry for what? Not carrying him on the roster for two years while he was in jail? For John Mara visiting him in prison out of simple humanity even though he knew Skip didn't want him back? The Giants treated Plax extremely well and got him a Lombardi. Plax is the one who let the team down, not vice versa.

Did I say they let him down? NO. He let them down. Too bad he didn't think of his family, his teammates, or the organization before carrying the gun into a club. Hopefully, he has grown up.

Did I say they should have carried him on the roster for two years? NO. My statement is that they didn't resign him, and he seems to be doing well. That's all. Of course, if the WR's the Giants have have now step up, then good for the G-men.

And yes, they treated him well. VERY well in fact. Their relationship was mutually beneficial. Without his catch, no Lombardi trophy.

Plax had a great game last night. Like he hasn't missed a step. I was eating my words for sure. Lets see if he can keep it up all season.

He's a tough thoroughbred. It's like he was born to do this.
