2013 New York Jets season

The 2013 New York Jets season was the franchise's 44th season in the National Football League and the 54th overall. The Jets improved their 6–10 regular season record from 2012 and attempted to make history as the first host team to play the Super Bowl on their own home turf, alongside the New York Giants, whom they share the same home field, MetLife Stadium. However, they missed the playoffs for a third consecutive season.

This game marked the debut of 2013 second-round draft pick QB Geno Smith from West Virginia. However, Smith only stepped in as QB due to incumbent starter Mark Sanchez suffering an apparent shoulder injury. Smith's first game didn't start off on the right foot, as he fumbled after taking a sack from Buccaneers MLB Mason Foster, and threw an interception to Buccaneers linebacker Lavonte David. Smith eventually rebounded by throwing his first career TD pass to Kellen Winslow Jr. to make the game close by halftime. The second half was a defensive struggle between both teams that wound up in both teams scoring in field goals. The biggest moment of the game came when Geno Smith scrambled out of bounds and Lavonte David (the same player who intercepted Smith earlier in the game) delivered a late hit to Smith in the last seconds of the game, resulting in a 15-yard unnecessary roughness penalty against David which pushed the Jets' position forward just enough to enable a successful 48-yard field goal from Nick Folk to secure victory.

With the win, the Jets improved to 1–0.

Top passers NYJ – Geno Smith – 15/35, 214 yards, 3 INT NE – Tom Brady – 19/39, 185 yards, TD Top rushers NYJ – Chris Ivory – 12 rushes, 52 yards NE – Stevan Ridley – 16 rushes, 40 yards Top receivers NYJ – Stephen Hill – 4 receptions, 86 yards NE – Julian Edelman – 13 receptions, 78 yards

Geno Smith had his worst game so far in his rookie season. After playing solidly in the first three quarters of the game against a mostly out-of-sync Patriots team (Tom Brady completed less than 50 percent of his passes for the first time since 2009), Geno Smith fell apart, throwing three interceptions in the fourth quarter alone; his third INT to Aqib Talib ultimately sealed the Jets' fate, as the Jets lost to the Patriots 13–10 in a sloppy matchup in Foxborough.

With the loss, the Jets fell to 1–1.

In a matchup of fellow rookie quarterbacks Geno Smith and E.J. Manuel, the game started off well for the Jets as Geno Smith ran in the end zone for a TD, and accounted for another on a long strike to Stephen Hill. The defense was stingy, holding off E.J. Manuel and the Bills offense throughout the game leading into the third quarter, and Nick Folk delivered two successful field goals to create a 20–6 cushion at the beginning of the 3rd quarter. However, it was to be acknowledged that the Jets committed a team-record 20 penalties for 168 yards, which helped the Bills get back into the game by the 4th quarter. Eventually, Geno Smith stepped up under pressure and delivered a game-winning, 69-yard TD to Santonio Holmes. As a result, the Jets proved that they can win in the face of adversity.

Bilal Powell had a good day, rushing 27 times for 149 rushing yards.

With the stunning win, the Jets improve to 2–1.

This was the Jets' only game outside of the Eastern Time Zone during the 2013 season. Following three touchdown throws, the Jets sacked Jake Locker out of the game in the third quarter as Locker was sidelined the next two weeks with a hip injury. Geno Smith was picked off twice while in the fourth quarter he was sacked at his own goal line by Karl Klug; he attempted to switch the ball behind his back and Klug fell on the fumble for a touchdown.

With the loss, the Jets fell to 2–2.

• Recap, Game book

This game is well known for an infamous penalty that occurred during the overtime period. The Jets were lining up for a game winning 56-yard field goal in overtime to try and give them the win. Nick Folk kicked the ball, but the kick went wide right and the Patriots appeared to be taking over with a chance to win. However, Chris Jones of New England was called for a controversial unsportsmanlike conduct penalty after pushing his teammate into the offensive line. This penalty was later named "leaping". The penalty gave the Jets a first down, giving them three more downs to push the field goal attempt closer. This time, Folk drilled the kick from 42 yards, and the Jets came away with a win that improved them to 4–3.
