KEY

MATCHUP

Jets Pro Bowl cornerback Darrelle Revis held up well in Monday's season opener despite only four days of practice on the heels of his 36-day holdout in a contract dispute. Even though he was limited in practice during the final two days this week with a tight hamstring, Revis expects to play and welcome Randy "The Slouch" Moss to "Revis Island." Revis kept Moss in check in both meetings last season, holding him to 58 yards and a 4-yard touchdown in nine receptions. Moss reeled in five passes for 59 yards in the Patriots' season-opening win over the Bengals, a yardage total that's still less than what Revis yielded to the seven-time Pro Bowler in both 2009 meetings combined.

LOOKING AHEAD

The Jets hit the road for the first time this season next Sunday, heading to South Florida to play the rival Dolphins in what's sure to be an emotional game for Jason Taylor. The prime-time showdown will be the second of three consecutive AFC East contests and first of two straight road games for the Jets.
