Mark Sanchez says he had issues communicating with the Jets' coaching staff during Sunday's loss to the Steelers in the AFC Championship Game. The headset he was wearing malfunctioned. "It never really happened for that long of a time," Sanchez said. "We had to use a walkie-talkie at one point and [offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer] was just yelling calls in at one point. It was just another challenge, and we almost overcame it." The primary headset used to communicate with the quarterback went out after the first possession, while the backup unit stopped functioning in the fourth quarter. Sanchez had to run over to the sideline to talk to Schottenheimer. "The problem was the headset kept going out multiple times during the game," Sanchez said, "so I had to run over and get a couple calls, piece together some calls on the headset that came in broken up. It was one of those things we were fighting through. I was proud of our guys for trying to piece it together."
