The Jets would not be phased, they went on a 17-0 scoring binge of their own highlighted by a 12-yard scoring run by Matt Forte – his third touchdown of the game – which officially put the game out of reach for the Bills who could only muster up a late window-dressing touchdown to make the final score of this game look closer than it was.

Left guard James Carpenter (calf) and insider linebacker Erin Henderson (foot) left Thursday’s win over the Bills with injuries and didn’t return.
Bowles on Friday said he “should’ve” gone for two in this spot. We have to keep trying to make progress in the third week and going forward.
The Jets let their season opener slip away, falling to Cincinnati 23-22 last Sunday. Being around him for two years, he’s got a tremendous work ethic, he’s got a ton of knowledge of this offense and what we are trying to do.
“Alright, well first off, obviously we never expected this”, the Bills head coach said to lead off his post-game press conference. Through two contests in 2016, the second-year pro has collected 13 receptions.
Roman was highly regarded by the Bills when he was hired. I always thought he was a tremendous coach and I still believe that. “He’s running the show and that’s what you want”, Roman said about Taylor. “Quincy is a tireless worker, and a lot of the things you see that he’s doing now is paying off from the offseason”. New York Giants Wide Wide Receiver Victor Cruz was also in the building to help kick off Color Rush season. And I think Justus (Galac), our strength coach, has done a great job with him as far as getting his footwork together and him playing with more balance.
“Brandon’s fine”, Bowles said. “The communication has to be clearer. This is Day 1 training camp stuff that we shouldn’t be busting, and we have to make sure we correct that”. Although Revis matched up with Watkins at times, the Jets went into their first divisional contest with a different plan than 2015.
“He was on him some”. They will need to pull an upset in one of those games to avoid an 0-4 start. It was a strategy the team discussed over the summer, and one the Patriots used when Revis won a title in New England in 2014. Bowles said both players are undergoing MRIs.

In Thursday’s loss to New York, Taylor hooked-up with Marquise Goodwin for an 84 yard touchdown pass – the longest TD strike at home in Bills history. “He got some treatment, but he’s walking around pretty good”, Bowles said of his receiver.
