Mark Sanchez remembered he’s just a rookie on Sunday evening after the New Orleans Saints whooped the Jets, 24-20.

“At times I guess he looked like a rookie today,” Jets coach Rex Ryan said. “He made some mistakes I’m sure he wished he had back, but he wasn’t the only one. We have to do a better job at protecting him.”

Sanchez was picked off three times during the game including one which was returned 99 yards by Darren Sharper for a touchdown.

“That’s a classic rookie quarterback looking right at his receiver,” Sanchez said while trying to explain the interception. “Sharper read me all the way and I took him right to it. There was absolutely no excuse for it. It was a poor decision.”

The New Orleans Saints are clearly the best team in the NFL through the first four weeks of the season. Their offense is nearly unstoppable and now that their defense is creating turnovers on a consistent basis, the Saints will be a tough team for anyone to beat.
