APIt took the Jets more than 13 quarters to score their first touchdown of the preseason.
The wait was much shorter this time around. Mark Sanchez threw a 12-yard touchdown pass to Jeremy Kerley with six minutes left in the first quarter to grab a 7-0 lead. It is the first touchdown of any kind by members of the Jets starting offense as it was a ragtag group that tasted the end zone against the Eagles in the final preseason contest.
On their way to the end zone, the Jets featured both of their quarterbacks. Tim Tebow handed off and then ran for four yards on his first carry of the new season. One of Tebow’s plays came after a longish completion to Kerley, which played right into the hands of those who think Tebow will interrupt the flow of the “regular” offense when Sanchez wildly overthrew his receiver on the next play. Of course, Sanchez did that without any other quarterback option on the team so you might not want to read that much into it.
Kerley’s touchdown came on the second possession of the game for the Jets. The first ended when Sanchez threw an ill-advised shovel pass toward tight end Jeff Cumberland while scrambling out of the pocket. Cumberland wasn’t ready and the ball bounced into the waiting hands of Bills safety Bryan Scott. Darrelle Revis picked off Ryan Fitzpatrick on the first Bills drive of the game to get the Jets back in business.
UPDATE 1:33 p.m. ET: Fitzpatrick got picked again on the second Buffalo drive. Cornerback Kyle Wilson did the honors this time.

WHERE YOU AT BILLS FANS? TWO PICKS.
AHAHA J-E-T-S JETS JETS JETS. WOOOOOOO
The best cure for the jets anemic offense is the “vaunted” bills defense
You guys did a whole lot of talking this off-season. SHOCKINGLY QUIET NOW.
21-0.
I thought the Jets couldn’t score touchdowns tho
Where are the Tebow chants tho?
I thought Revis was owned by Johnson
Bills mafia, what a joke hahahahaha
Two teams that blow so badly and one of them – the clown posse, that gets way too much coverage in the media. The pathetic Bills are actually making them look good. These two teams deserve each other.
The Jets just reaffirmed what smart football people already know the preseason has ZERO bearing on regular season results.
P.S. I’m no Jets fan but it gets annoying to hear people constantly bash a team based on preseason results.
Now Rex, the Jets players and their fans will act live they’ve won the Super Bowl for the next week because they were able to beat up on a woefully bad Bills team.
Bills have been league wide whipping boys for years, this is no major accomplishment.
Don’t worry Bills fans, your team still has 15 games left to battle it out with the Yets for SECOND place in the division.
