ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. -- Matt Forte scored three touchdown runs and Ryan Fitzpatrick finally solved Rex Ryans defense, leading the New York Jets to a 37-31 victory over the Buffalo Bills on Thursday night.Fortes 3-yard run put New York ahead 27-24 with 2:12 left in the third quarter. He sealed the win by patiently waiting for a seam to open before scampering into the end zone from 12 yards to put New York up 37-24 with 4:02 left in the fourth quarter.Forte finished with 100 yards rushing, and the offseason free-agent addition became the 13th New York player to score three rushing touchdowns in a game.The Jets (1-1) bounced back from a season-opening loss to Cincinnati and snapped a five-game skid against their AFC East rivals.Fitzpatrick finished 24 of 34 for 374 yards and a 5-yard touchdown pass to Eric Decker.In beating one of his former teams, Fitzpatrick also overcame the stinging memories of last years season finale, a 22-17 loss at Buffalo that eliminated the Jets from playoff contention. Fitzpatrick closed the loss by throwing interceptions on each of the Jets final three possessions.I think it means a little bit more than a regular game because this was my life for four years being here, Fitzpatrick said about spending 2009-12 with the Bills. But Im more excited about our team and the way we responded in the second half.The Bills (0-2) are suddenly reeling in Ryans second season as coach , and two years after he has fired by the Jets.Obviously, we never expected this, Ryan said. The Jets were a much better team than we were today, especially their offense against our defense looked like a mismatch today. You look for a difference in the game and that was the difference in the game.The Bills offense sputtered in a 13-7 loss at Baltimore on Sunday, and now it was their defense that showed cracks against the Jets.New York finished with 493 yards offense, 28 first downs and had seven drives cross midfield.Bills quarterback Tyrod Taylor rebounded five days after he was limited to 111 yards passing against the Ravens.He went 18 of 30 for 298 yards and three touchdowns and an interception. Marquise Goodwin scored on an 84-yarder catch, Greg Salas scored on a 71-yard catch and running back Mike Gillislee made it close, by catching an 18-yard touchdown pass with 1:17 remaining.The Jets scored on each of their first four possessions to build a 20-7 lead.The Bills responded by scoring on three straight possessions spanning halftime to go up 24-20. Safety Nickell Robey-Coleman capped the run by returning Jalin Marshalls fumble 36 yards for a touchdown.GOING DEEPJets cornerback Darrelle Revis got off to another tough start. After having difficulty covering Bengals receiver A.J. Green on Sunday, Revis was burned by Goodwin on his 84-yard touchdown catch. Goodwin burst past Revis up the right sideline at midfield and had two steps on him when he caught Tyrod Taylors pass in stride at the Jets 35 and ran it in.It was Buffalos longest touchdown pass at home in team history, and longest since Fitzpatrick hit Terrell Owens for a 98-yard touchdown strike at Tennessee on Nov. 15, 2009.Adding in Salas 71-yard TD catch and Taylor became Buffalos fifth quarterback to throw two 70-plus yard touchdown passes in the same game, and first since J.P. Losman did it in 2006.FOURTH DOWNFortes final touchdown came after the Jets defense stopped the Bills twice for no gain at midfield, including run up the middle by LeSean McCoy on fourth-and-1. The Bills converted 3 of 10 third-down chances and were 1-for-2 on fourth down.QUICK HEALERJets receiver Brandon Marshall proved to be a quick healer. It appeared as if he sustained a serious injury when his left knee twisted beneath him while cornerback Stephon Gilmore brought him down by the facemask in the second quarter. Marshall immediately grabbed his knee and lay on the field for a few minutes before getting up on his own.Marshall returned for the next series and made a 21-yard catch after having his knee examined. The catch helped set up Deckers 5-yard touchdown catch that put the Jets up 20-7.INJURIESJets: Coach Todd Bowles said Marshall had a slight sprain. WR Quincy Enunwa continued playing despite sore ribs. LB Erin Henderson did not return because of a foot injury. OG James Carpenter injured a calf.Bills: Goodwin left the game late and was being for a potential concussion.THEY SAID IT:Fitzpatrick on Marshall returning to field: I thought he was down for the count, for sure.Bills LB Jerry Hughes: We just didnt play good football today. Just bad ball all around. ... We just didnt show up today.RETIRING NO. 78The Bills honored NFL career sacks leader and Hall of Famer Bruce Smith by retiring his No. 78 during a halftime ceremony.I dont know if Im worthy or lucky enough for all this, Smith told reporters before the game. He joins Hall of Fame quarterback Jim Kelly, whose No. 12, is the only number the Bills have retired. Cheap Air Force 1 China .

RIO DE JANEIRO -- At the risk of allowing the internet trolls and conspiracy theorists to enjoy one more little frisson of undeserved recognition about what ugly little pieces of work they are, this needs to be said as simply and loudly as possible:American gymnast Gabby Douglas has nothing to apologize for about her podium behavior during the playing of the national anthem Tuesday, after the U.S. womens gymnastics team won the gold medal.Get off her back.The gripes that Douglas looked a little distracted during the playing of the anthem, or didnt put her hand over her heart like the rest of her teammates -- thats the complaint? Seriously, thats it? Thats what sparked a feeding frenzy that has metastasized into some even more ludicrous conjecture that Douglas decision to stand with her arms at her side was some sort of protest gesture because ... well, why? Because shes black?Its absurd. It speaks more to the fatuous junk that passes for news today and the ugly tenor of racial politics in the U.S. and beyond than it does anything Douglas is actually guilty of. But that didnt stop the story from going viral for more than a day. Which also would be laughable, if Douglas didnt feel so badly she posted a statement on Twitter saying she hoped she didnt offend anyone. She also reasserted how much she considers representing the U.S. an honor.Anyone who knows anything about Douglas knows she has done nothing to contradict those claims.Douglas has been exemplary during her U.S. national team career, both in London in 2012, when she became the first African-American gymnast to win the Olympic all-around, and again here in Rio, even though shes now a role player on the team instead of its unabashed star.#GoUSA?? #TeamUSA?? #FinalFive?? ???????????????????? pic.twitter.com/vzhFZxYOWb- Gabrielle Douglas (@gabrielledoug) August 10, 2016Her groundbreaking win in 2012 was as unexpected as her performance was sensational. She was an effervescent, talented kid of 16 back then who became an instant role model. Shes a tender, talented woman of 20 now who pauses before she speaks, being thoughtful and respectful.Like teammate Aly Raisman, who is 22, Douglas took some time off after the London Games, then made a comeback to the world-class level that has been more grueling than anyone will ever know.Both of them are tough, tough athletes. But Douglas is also a sensitive person, and it has been a little melancholy to watch how the constant questions about her status on the U.S. team have drained a little joy out of the whole journey for her these last few weeks of her career, even before she got here to Rio. Nobody on the team seems to be asked to defend tthemselves more, right down to how she styles her hair.dddddddddddd She doesnt deserve it.National team coordinator Martha Karolyi and her Olympic selection committee have great discretion in picking the final team, and Karolyi in particular believed in Douglas ability so much, she kept Douglas on this Olympic team though a couple other gymnasts posted higher scores than she did at the U.S. national championships and, weeks later, again at the two-day U.S. Olympic trials. What nobody knew until afterward was Douglas, who finished second behind Simone Biles at last years world championships, had suffered an unannounced knee injury that wasnt revealed until after the trials when she heard her mother, Natalie Hawkins, finally disclosed it to a few reporters.Douglas, overhearing her, groaned, Aw, mom ... as if she didnt approve.Douglas refused to make excuses then. And she has gone on to vindicate Karlolyis trust at every turn since. So again, get off her back.Tuesday, she was part of a team effort that hit all 12 of the routines without a notable mistake. The U.S. won by the most impressive margin of victory ever, given the era they compete in. Douglas also scored high enough on the uneven bars to make the individual finals Saturday. And if there wasnt a limit of two gymnasts per country in the individual all-around competition that Biles won Thursday, Douglas would have been here, too, because she had the third-best overall qualifying score. She wouldve had the chance to defend her all-around title and compete with Biles and Raisman for a U.S. medal sweep.Yeah, itll be a little weird to watch, Douglas allowed with a smile Tuesday, but Ill be cheering my heart out for Simone and Aly to win.So thats just a little of the backstory about what Douglas went through by the time she arrived on the medal podium Tuesday. Its perfectly understandable if she was feeling a mix of joy, exhaustion, nostalgia and melancholy all at once. (A tornado of emotions, in Biles words.)Douglas had just experienced the beginning of the end of her gymnastics career. She knew her life-altering reign as Olympic all-around champ was officially over.Douglas had talked for weeks before Rio about how she wanted to try to remember this Olympics, because everything was a blur in London. Hopefully thats where shell assign the criticism of her medal podium appearance when these Games are over. The only thought Gabby Douglas should have as she walks away from Rio is shes one of the best, most admirable Olympic gymnasts the United States has had.
