Shonn Greene - 24/172 Rush
Isaac Redman - 9/103 Rush, 2TD
Aaron Maybin - 5 Tk, 2 Sk
Recap:
Buffalo failed to take advantage of their early possession time by only converting a field goal in each of the opening 3 quarters. During this time the Jets who relied on their ground attack of Greene and Redman, would rack up 3 TDs to stretch out a lead that forced Buffalo to chase the game through the air.
Donald Jones proved to be the 'go-to' receiver for Buffalo and although he caught a TD pass late in the 4th, the Jets managed to seal the game with a FG at the death for the 24-16 opening day win.
Quotes:
Ryan Fitzpatrick (Buffalo) "We couldnt get the job done when it counted, our redzone attempts may look good as we scored but 3 Field Goals means 3 missed touchdowns to me and thats what cost us a win here in New York. Its something we have to improve on if we are to have a chance to compete in the division"
Rex Ryan (New York) "Buffalo came at us hard early on but we showed that our defense can still play at the top of their game. As for our offense, Mark (Sanchez) looked rusty and we have time to improve on that, but we saw that the Bills struggled against the run so pounded it, which gave us both points and clock management opportunities"
