SAN DIEGO – Curtis Martin scored on the Jets’ first two possessions and became the team’s all-time rushing leader, helping New York to a 34-28 win yesterday over the Chargers, who lost quarterback Drew Brees to a concussion.

Martin scored on runs of 1 and 2 yards and finished with 119 yards on 32 carries. With 8,185 yards in seven seasons with the Jets, he broke Freeman McNeil’s old team record of 8,074. Martin has 11,984 yards in 10 NFL seasons, good for 11th on the all-time list.

Martin broke McNeil’s record with an 11-yard gain on his first run of the day, giving the Jets the first of four straight first downs. He capped the drive with a 1-yard run for a 7-0 lead.

The Jets got the ball right back when Coleman intercepted Brees at the San Diego 44, setting up Martin’s 2-yard run for a 14-0 lead.

Doug Brien’s 28-yard field goal, set up by Eric Parker’s fumble on a punt return, gave the Jets a 17-0 lead in the second quarter.

Chad Pennington threw two touchdown passes for the Jets, and rookie safety Erik Coleman had an interception and a fumble recovery.

The Jets are 2-0 for just the second time in 11 seasons.

The Chargers (1-1) were booed often during their home opener. Brees sustained a concussion late in the third quarter on a helmet-to-helmet hit by safety Jon McGraw, who was called for roughing the passer.

Brees finished that drive and was in for two more possessions, throwing a 33-yard TD pass to Reche Caldwell to pull the Chargers to 27-21 with 7:38 to play.

Brees was pulled for 41-year-old Doug Flutie with less than four minutes to go and the Chargers trailing 34-21.Brees wasn’t happy about it, throwing his helmet on the sideline and having a heated discussion with coach Marty Schottenheimer.

Brees went from being impressive in a 27-20 win at Houston to being awful, throwing two interceptions and losing a fumble. By midway through the third quarter, he’d thrown as many interceptions as completions, finishing 8-of-19 for 146 yards.

“I was a little woozy, but I knew I was playing in a football game,” Brees. “The two interceptions were probably the things I do remember.”

Brees was 3-of-12 for 74 yards with two interceptions before the concussion. Afterward, he was 5-of-7 for 72 yards and a TD.

Flutie scored on a 6-yard run with 30 seconds left. Wayne Chrebet recovered the ensuing onside kick.

Three plays before the concussion, Brees hit LaDainian Tomlinson for a 59-yard gain, which set up Tomlinson’s 4-yard TD run late in the third to cut a 20-point deficit to 27-14.
