"I knew it was the first team's last shot to get on the board," Rodgers said. "Just wanted to end us on a positive note."
The Rodgers score paced the way for the Bills as they picked up a 31-21 victory over the Carolina Panthers.
The Bills first team defense harassed Cam Newton on his only two series allowing only one first down to the Carolina starters.
Buffalo next heads to Cleveland to take on the Browns.
TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS vs MIAMI DOLPHINS
Quarterback Ryan Tannehill started strong on his opening drive with his new club going 6-for-7 before his eighth pass of the night was intercepted in the Tampa Bay endzone.
"Can't do that," Tannehill said. "For us to win we need to take care of the football and rely on our defense and running game to get the job done."
In typical Miami fashion, the rest of the game was hard-nosed, between the tackles, and a bit mundane for the fans in attendance.
"The way we like it," Gase said. "I'll take three points every drive if we can own the clock like we did tonight."
The Dolphins will now travel to North Carolina to take on Cam Newton and the Panthers.
ATLANTA FALCONS vs NEW YORK JETS
"It was great to be out there," Jackson said. "I just want to get better each day and help our team."
Last year's champions had very few holes to fill. Now, with the Louisville rookie on their side, the team may have one too many weapons next to their incumbent Derek Carr.
"We have a creative coaching staff," Carr said. "They can find ways to get us both reps."
New York next heads to Landover, Maryland to take on the Washington Redskins.
WASHINGTON REDSKINS vs NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS
FOXBORO (MA) -- WR/KR JJ Nelson endeared himself to New England faithful with his pair of kickoff returns to lead the Patriots over the Washington Redskins 24-18 in the preseason openers for both teams.
The Patriot starters were unable to put up any points during their first quarter of work with a vanilla gameplan that you can understand during the preseason.
"We are absolutely not happy with this first performance," Belichick said. "I could do without these preseason games, but we'll use the practice time and try to improve.
Don't write too much into an early August practice game with this talented Patriots squad; We're confident they'll be ready to go offensively once September rolls around.
Dak Prescott and company will stay home next week to take on Carson Wentz and the Philadelphia Eagles.
