EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- Plaxico Burress had the big breakout game the New York Jets have been waiting for.
The veteran wide receiver caught three touchdown passes, including the go-ahead score that was set up by another interception by Darrelle Revis, and the Jets stormed back in the second half to defeat the San Diego Chargers 27-21 on Sunday.
Leading 21-17, the Chargers appeared to be driving for a possible game-sealing score when Philip Rivers threw to Vincent Jackson and the ball tipped off the receiver's hands and right to Revis, who returned the interception 64 yards to the Chargers 19.

Revis had two interceptions on Monday night, including a 100-yard touchdown return, in the Jets' 24-6 win against the Miami Dolphins.

After a few runs by Shonn Greene and a defensive holding penalty -- the Chargers' 11th penalty in the game -- Mark Sanchez found Burress on a slant for a 3-yard touchdown to give the Jets (4-3) the lead for the first time with 8:41 remaining. It was Burress' second three-TD catch game of his career, and first since 2007 while with the Giants.

San Diego turned it over again on its next possession when the Chargers (4-2) faced a third-and-6 from their 41 and Kyle Wilson picked off Rivers for the first interception of his career.

Nick Folk's 30-yard field goal with 1:36 left made it 27-21. San Diego had one last shot for a winning drive, but couldn't really threaten against New York's defense.

With the victory, the Jets headed into their bye-week break with two straight wins -- both at home -- after a three-game road losing streak. They also are off to their first 4-0 start at home since 2004.

Sanchez finished 18 of 33 for 173 yards and three touchdowns, all to Burress, and an interception. Burress had just four catches for 25 yards, but he provided the red-zone presence the Jets hoped he'd be when they signed him as a free agent after he served 20 months in prison on a gun charge.

Greene had a season-high 112 yards on 20 carries. LaDainian Tomlinson, facing his former team for the first time since signing with the Jets last offseason, became the fourth running back in NFL history with 600 catches before leaving in the fourth quarter with what the team called an illness.
