Tomlinson leads Jets to victory over Bills

JETS 38
BILLS 14

LaDainian Tomlinson has reversed the aging process. Tomlinson rushed for 133 with 19 carries and two touchdowns to lead Gang Green to a 38-14 smackdown of the Buffalo Bills, as the Jets improved to 3-1 on the season.

Tomlinson, who got the start at halfback, was running with a purpose from the get go. On the opening drive Tomlinson had carries of 13 and 15 yards to set the Jets up at the Bills 26. After catching a 10 yard swing pass from Mark Sanchez, Tomlinson dove into the endzone for a 1 yard run to give the Jets a 7-0 lead.

Mark Sanchez had another stellar performance. Sanchez was 14-of-24 for 161 yards with two touchdowns and zero interceptions. He has yet to throw a pick this year, compared to eight touchdown passes. In the second quarter, Sanchez hit a wide open Braylon Edwards down the sideline for a 45 yard touchdown to give the Jets a 17-0 lead.

Fast forward to the third quarter, the Jets scored three touchdowns in three minutes. Brad Smith hit Dustin Keller from two yards out; then Sanchez hit Keller from three yards out to make it 31-7. Finally, Tomlinson capped off the day with his signature 26 yard sprint as the Jets poured it on.
