EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — All that dismal 0-16 talk is over. And the Jets ended it early with a stunningly dominant performance.
Josh McCown threw a 69-yard touchdown pass to Robby Anderson, Bilal Powell ran for a touchdown, and the Jets’ defense frustrated the Miami Dolphins on Sunday for a 20-6 victory in the team’s home opener.
“Oh, man, it was awesome,” McCown said. “It was special.”
While the focus from many fans and media heading into the season was on whether a revamped Jets roster would be good enough to win any games, the Jets (1-2) made Miami (1-1) look like the team in the middle of a rebuilding effort.
