QB Tyrod Taylor showed promise in his first game for Buffalo but he needs to move on from their Week 1 loss and focus on their next match at home.
The New York Jets showed a lot of character after a back and forth game against the Cincinnati Bengals in their Week 1 match. Bengals' Mike Nugent 47-yard field goal in the waning seconds in the 4th quarter was enough to clinch a 23-22 win over the Jets.
The Jets was able to sacked Bengals' QB Andy Dalton seven times and intercepted him once. However, New York had opportunities to close-out the Bengals but could not sustain their defensive intensity in the final quarter.
