NFL Replay will re-air the
New York Jets' 24-14 win over the Cincinnati
Bengals on Wednesday, Jan. 13 at 8 p.m. ET.
Bengals kicker Shayne Graham missed his second field goal attempt -- a 28-yard kick that would have brought his team within one score with 3:49 remaining. Graham missed earlier in the second half from 35 yards.
Game ball
The Jets unleashed Shonn Greene on Cincinnati's defense and the rookie running back responded with 135 yards and a 39-yard touchdown on a career-high 21 carries.
Key Stat
With Carson Palmer off the mark all game, the Bengals' passing attack never got going. Chad Ochocinco, blanketed by JetsPro Bowl CB Darrelle Revis, didn't make a catch until 11:56 remained and finished with two receptions for 28 yards. Palmer, meanwhile, struggled to get into a rhythm with his other receivers, consistently misfiring on passes and overthrowing open receivers. Palmer completed just 50 percent of his passes for 146 yards with a touchdown and an interception.
