^When breaking ties for three or more teams under the NFL's rules, they are first broken within divisions, then comparing only the highest ranked remaining team from each division.
This game marks the debut of 2013 second-round draft pick QB Geno Smith from West Virginia. However, Smith only stepped in as QB due to Mark Sanchez suffering an apparent shoulder injury. His first game didn't start off on the right foot, though. He fumbled after taking a sack from Buccaneers MLB Mason Foster, and threw an interception to Buccaneers linebacker Lavonte David. Smith eventually rebounded by throwing his first TD pass to Kellen Winslow Jr. to make the game close by halftime. The second half was a defensive struggle between both teams that wound up in both teams scoring in field goals. The biggest moment of the game came when Geno Smith scrambled out-of-bounds and Lavonte David (the same player who intercepted Smith earlier in the game) delivered a late hit to Smith, resulting in a 15-yard penalty against David. The Jets would fully use the penalty to their advantage, as a Geno Smith clutch drive in the final seconds of the game culminated in a successful 48-yard field goal from Nick Folk to win the game.
With the win, the Jets improved to 1-0.

Geno Smith would have his worst game so far in his rookie season. After playing solidly in the first three quarters of the game against a mostly out-of-sync Patriots team (Tom Brady completed less than 50% of his passes for the first time since 2009), Geno Smith fell apart, throwing three interceptions in the fourth quarter alone; his third INT to Aqib Talib ultimately sealed the Jets' fate, as the Jets lost to the Patriots 13-10 in a sloppy matchup in Foxborough.
With the loss, the Jets fell to 1-1.
Week 3: vs. Buffalo Bills
Week Three: Buffalo Bills at New York Jets – Game summary
In a matchup of fellow rookie quarterbacks Geno Smith and E.J. Manuel, the game started off well for the Jets as Geno Smith ran in the end zone for a TD, and accounted for another on a long strike to Stephen Hill. The defense was stingy, holding off E.J. Manuel and the Bills offense throughout the game leading into the third quarter, and Nick Folk delivered two successful field goals to create a 20-6 cushion at the beginning of the 3rd quarter. However, it was to be acknowledged that the Jets committed a team-record 20 penalties for 168 yards, which helped the Bills get back into the game by the 4th quarter. Eventually, Geno Smith stepped up under pressure and delivered a game-winning, 69-yard TD to Santonio Holmes. As a result, the Jets proved that they can win in the face of adversity.
Bilal Powell had a good day, rushing 27 times for 149 rushing yards.
With the stunning win, the Jets improve to 2-1.

This game is well known for an infamous penalty that occurred during the overtime period. The Jets were lining up for a game winning 56-yard field goal in overtime to try and give them the win. Nick folk kicked the ball, but the kick went wide right and the Patriots appeared to be taking over with a chance to win. However, Chris Jones of New England was called for a controversial unsportsmanlike conduct penalty after pushing his teammate into the offensive line. This penalty would later be named "leaping". The penalty gave the Jets another chance and made the field goal attempt a 51-yard attempt. This time, Folk drilled the kick, and the Jets would go on to stun the Patriots. With the win, the Jets improved to 4-3.
