Jets Defeat Bills 19-13 at Rogers Centre in Toronto Thursday

The New York Jets defeated the Buffalo Bills in a foreign country Thursday in a pretty boring game. I muted the sound during TV timeouts and almost fell asleep three times. The keys to the game were the Jets running all over the Bills defense and CB Darrelle Revis shutting down the locker room poison WR Terrell Owens. RB Thomas Jones led the way with 23 carries for 109 yards. Rookie RB Shonn Greene carried the ball 11 times for 59 yards. Even FB Tony Richardson, in his 15th season, carried the ball 2 times for 36 yards. WR Jerricho Cotchery had 4 receptions for 68 yards while WR Braylon Edwards had 3 for 45 yards with 1 touchdown. Edwards had one bounce off his helmet that would have been funny if they didn’t need that big play. He made up for it with an excellent catch and run as he broke the goal line plane wiht the ball. The Jets first two trips to the red zone resulted in field goals and I thought it would be one of those games. QB Mark Sanchez was pedestrian, going 7 of 15 for 104 yards with 1 touchdown. Sanchez missed an easy touchdown in the 1st quarter, where he looked like he threw off his back foot again and air mailed it. What hurt the Jets the most happened in the 3rd quarter when Sanchez hurt his knee. He made a gutsy run out of the pocket on a 3rd down play and dove between the linebackers to get the first down. He landed hard on his right knee and took himself out of the game two plays later. Rex Ryan said Sanchez has to grow up and learn to slide in those situations. He represents the entire organization and doesn’t want to see him diving forward. The MRI this morning indicated a PCL injury with more information forthcoming. I guess the sliding lesson earlier this week with New York Yankees manager Joe Girardi didn’t do much. QB Kellen Clemens went 1 for 2 for 14 yards with 1 fumble. Revis finally got his interception late in the 4th quarter that sealed the deal for the Jets. He had opportunities for 2 other picks during the game.
