After Sunday's big win, the New York Jets eased all those preseason concerns about their low-scoring offense.
With a dominating first half effort by the Jets' offense, led by quarterback Mark Sanchez, New York manhandled the Buffalo Bills 48-28 in the season opener.
Sanchez, who looked great by the way, threw for three touchdown passes, two going to rookie Stephen Hill and the other going to Jeremy Kerley.
Sanchez had the offense running like a well oiled machine as he finished the game 19 of 27 for 266 yards along with his three scores and one interception, and was not sacked.
Kerley had this to say about Sanchez's performance:
"He definitely turned it on today," Kerley said of Sanchez. "I think there's always a big target on Mark's back and I think he likes it. He's a guy we trust and know what he's capable each week, and he showed it today."
Rex Ryan passed on a chance to rub this win in the face of his team's critics and doubters. So did Sanchez, and Tim Tebow, too.
"It's a great win, there's no doubt about it," Sanchez said. "But, we've got lots of work to do."
The game also marked the highly anticipated debut of Tebow, who worked in the wildcat a little bit. Tebow's presence added a tricky element to the offense and finished with five rushes for 11 yards and didn't throw a pass.
"After a little bit, we didn't show too much," Tebow said of the wildcat plays. "We were able to get in there and have some efficient plays."
