The New York Jets took on the Cincinnati Bengals in an NFL football preseason schedule game tonight which saw one team hoping made the right bet at quarterback, and the other hoping it can figure out which quarterback to bet on. The Bengals have just given Andy Dalton a massive long term contract despite never having performed above average, and now the team looks for results. The NY Jets have Michael Vick and Geno Smith on the roster, but only one can start. In the end, the final score was a close one, and the outcome was decided in the fourth quarter.
The Jets signed Michael Vick in the offseason after Geno Smith had a subpar first season as a starter, but either QB could win the starting job by the time the regular season rolls around. It’s the latest NY quarterback circus, after the Jets just got done fully parting with any remaining evidence of the Mark Sanchez vs Tim Tebow era. Vick had the better night by far, going 5 for 9 with a touchdown for a 117 passer rating, while Smith looked average with a 65 rating. Andy Dalton, however, had a perfect passer rating of 158.3 for Cincinnati, completing all eight of his passes for the Bengals.
But the game was decided by backups. The New York Jets were the winner after they scored the winning touchdown and then tacked on a safety in the fourth quarter, by a final score of 25-17. The next game on the Jets schedule is at home against the New York Giants on Friday night, while the next game on the Bengals schedule is the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday night.
