Figured I'd share some post-game factoids with you guys:
* Mark Sanchez -- who threw for 266 yards (19-of-27), three touchdowns and one interception – finished the game with a quarterback rating of 123.4. The Jets record improved to 6-0 in games Sanchez throws at least three touchdown passes.
* Stephen Hill caught five passes for 89 yards and two touchdowns – a debut that ranks tops in team history for team history for most receiving yards and touchdown receptions. Hill surpassed Al Toon’s club record of 67 receiving yards in his debut, set also vs. Buffalo on September 15, 1985.
* RB Shonn Greene had a career opening day, carrying a career-high 27 times for 94 yards and a touchdown. Prior to Sunday, Greene had season-opener totals of 15 carries for 44 yards and no touchdowns.
* Nick Folk’s 12 points were the most he’s had in a game since he finished with 12 in a Jets’ win over Jacksonville September 18, 2011. The six extra points tied his career best, set in his NFL debut for Dallas on September 9, 2007 against the Giants.
