New York Jets vs Buffalo Bills (3GML Game of the Week)
1 2 3 4 FINAL
NEW YORK 14 14 3 7 38
BUFFALO 0 0 0 6 6
BUFFALO – The NFL's marquee matchup to start the 2017 season was over before it began as the New York Jets (1-0, 1-0 AFC East) dominated the Buffalo Bills (0-1, 0-1) 38-6 in front of a stunned Bills home crowd.
"We knew they were planning to parade around their championship banner pregame," David Johnson said. "We wanted that to be the last smile we saw from Bills fans all day."
Johnson led the Jets rushing attack that collectively gained 297 yards on the day. With only 12-carries, Johnson finished with 213 yards rushing to go along with four TD runs to complete his fantasy-football dream game.
Aaron Rodgers, who was stoic in defeat postgame, had no chance all day as the New York pass rush, led by newly signed Aaron Donald, picked up six sacks.
"We came to eat," Donald said. "We (were) hungry.
The Jets, now every sports talking heads 'hot take' to win Super Bowl 52, will travel to face Derek Carr's former team, the Oakland Raiders while the Bills head south to take on Cam Newton and the Carolina Panthers.
Kansas City 25 @ New England 22
With a strong performance by 4th year HB Spencer Ware, the Kansas City Chiefs (1-0) stormed back late to stun the New England Patriots (0-1) 25-22 up in Foxboro. With a 14-0 lead early in the 4th quarter, Dak Prescott and company looked to be in control, but the team's 3rd down inefficiency (only three conversions on the game) doomed the team late.
New England next heads to New Orleans to take on the Marcus Mariota led Saints.
Tampa Bay 20 @ Miami 17
A 4th quarter TD drive with under 2-minutes remaining put the NFL on notice that Jameis Winston and his Tampa Bay (1-0) teammates are ready for primetime. The Miami Dolphins (0-1) played their typically vanilla style of game but could not close the deal at the end. For the game, Tampa's Doug Martin finished with 234 all purpose yards.
The Dolphins travel next to the west coast to take on the Los Angeles Chargers.
