RECAP: Bills Grounded by Jets; Jackson Hurt

The Bills kicked off the 2012 season in New Jersey against the Jets.  Buffalo lost to New York 48-28.  Fred Jackson left the game after taking a hard hit to his legs.

New York's offense kept humming in the second half.  On their next possession Sanchez hit Hill for a 17-yard touchdown pass to bump the lead to 41-7. 

The Bills came back with a decent drive on their next possession that featured another long run from Spiller.  Scott Chandler capped it off with a 5-yard touchdown catch to cut the lead to 41-14.  Buffalo added another touchdown to the scoreboard with a Donald Jones catch later in the quarter, cutting the deficit to 41-21.

The theme of too little, too late continued for the Bills on their next drive.  Stevie Johnson recorded his first touchdown of the season to make the score 41-28 Jets late in the fourth.  But New York officially put the game away on their next drive when Shonn Greene punched it in from 1 yard out, making the score 48-28.
