The New York Jets wasted no time, scoring on their first drive against the Redskins to take a 3-0 lead in the first quarter.
Mark Sanchez led the Jets on a nine play, 49 yard drive that wiped 4:42 off the clock. The running game featured several good runs by the Shonn Greene-LaDainian Tomlinson combo.
The drive stalled at the Redskins’ 28 and that brought out Nick Folk for a 45-yard field goal attempt, which split the uprights.
