EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — The dominant New York Jets took advantage of every mistake by the St. Louis Rams, making their 47-3 rout look more like a scrimmage than an NFL game.

Thomas Jones had three touchdown runs, Jay Feely kicked four field goals — including a franchise record-tying 55-yarder — and the Jets converted five turnovers into 27 points today for the largest margin of victory in team history.

The Jets' previous biggest win was 45-3 over Houston in 1988.

The Jets (6-3) have won three straight and five of six, with the only blemish a 16-13 overtime loss at Oakland three weeks ago. New York is tied with New England at the top of the AFC East, and the rivals play for sole possession Thursday night at Foxborough.

Jones had 29 carries for 149 yards, and Brett Favre was 14-of-19 for 167 yards and a touchdown to Dustin Keller before calling it a day early in the fourth quarter. It was the Jets' first win over the Rams since 1983.

New York had two interceptions and three fumble recoveries, including Calvin Pace's 50-yard touchdown return. Things were so bad for the Rams (2-7) that Trent Green, who replaced the ineffective Marc Bulger at halftime,— hit umpire Bill Schuster in the head with a pass.

Jones, who entered second in the AFC in rushing, capped the Jets' opening drive with a 13-yard touchdown run. He took a couple steps to his left, shifted to his right and juked Oshiomogho Atogwe, then got a nice block downfield from Laveranues Coles as he scampered into the end zone.

After holding the Rams to three-and-out, the Jets got a 22-yard field goal from Feely.

Pace's fumble recovery gave the Jets a 17-0 lead. Hit by blitzing safety Abram Elam as Bulger tried to throw, the ball was jarred loose. Pace picked it up and took off down the sideline untouched for the score.

Rams coach Jim Haslett challenged that it was a fumble, but officials upheld it after a short video review.

The Jets extended their lead to 24-0 less than 3 minutes into the second quarter on Jones' second score, a 2-yard rumble to cap a 12-play, 58-yard drive kept alive on fourth-and-2 when Favre hit Keller for 8 yards.

Feely's 49-yard field goal made it 27-0, and the Jets got the ball back four plays later when Derek Stanley fumbled after a short reception and it was recovered by Kerry Rhodes. Feely capped the drive with a 46-yarder field goal.

New York took advantage of another turnover when Rhodes picked off Bulger's pass for Donnie Avery and returned it 50 yards to the Rams 18. Four plays later, Favre found Keller in the end zone for a 1-yard touchdown to make it 37-0.

Instead of kneeling on the ball, the Rams chose to run — and paid for it. Kenneth Darby, starting for the injured Steven Jackson, ran 13 yards but had the ball knocked out and Eric Barton recovered it. Feely kicked his 55-yarder two plays later, tying Pat Leahy and John Hall for the longest in team history.

Bulger was replaced by Green in the second half after going 6-of-13 for 65 yards. Green led the Rams to their first points on their opening drive as Josh Brown kicked a 37-yard field goal, to loud boos by the fans at the Meadowlands.

Green then added to the Rams' woes, throwing an interception to Hank Poteat. A few plays later, Jones dragged a few Rams into the end zone for his third touchdown from 6 yards to make it 47-3.
