A Stunning Ending for the Opener! (Jets vs. Bills 2002, Week 1)

He only made one Pro Bowl and had three 1000-yard seasons in his career but Henry was a SOLID RB. Loved the toughness he ran with. That block by Bledsoe too 🔥

[@charlesdarks8850]

Then he had 350 sons and daughters.

In both, the Jets were winning in the 4th quarter and the Bills tied it up in last minute of the 4th quarter. The Jets win in overtime slightly differently (in 2002, the Jets one after a kickoff return touch down whereas the Jets won in 2023 after the Bills did a punt and the Jets did a punt return touch down)

bledsoe was still a very good quarterback. I believe patriots moving on from him did some damage to his psyche as the reason for it made perfect sense. Wentz and Bledsoe were never the same again.

[@JWD1992]

Ironically, Bledsoe threw for more yards than Brady in 2002, and with only one more INT. And their pass attempts were similar. He did get sacked a lot, though. And Brady threw four more TDs. But still. I think most football fans think Drew never did anything again after getting hit by Mo Lewis.
