Ben Roethlisberger threw a 55-yard touchdown pass to Emmanuel Sanders, Shaun Suisham kicked four field goals, and the Pittsburgh Steelers won their first game of the season, beating the Jets 19-6 on Sunday.
After considering retirement the last few months, quarterback David Garrard has re-signed with the Jets to serve as a veteran backup and mentor to rookie Geno Smith.
Geno Smith wasn't flustered. Not after all the mistakes in his first four games. Not after the Atlanta Falcons went ahead on a touchdown with less than 2 minutes remaining.
Geno Smith threw two touchdown passes, including a go-ahead 69-yarder to Santonio Holmes in the fourth quarter, and the Jets overcame a team-record 20 penalties to hang on and beat the Buffalo Bills 27-20 in an ugly game Sunday.
Geno Smith's NFL debut was about to go down in disappointment. Then, the New York Jets rookie quarterback took off running and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers made the most boneheaded mistake of the game.
Matt Simms, competing for the Jets' No. 3 quarterback job, led four scoring drives and Kahlil Bell had two touchdown runs and New York beat the Philadelphia Eagles 27-20 in the teams' preseason finale Thursday night.
