    Sorry to disappoint you. Vick started the game and made a touchdown saving tackle after an INT. He was hurt making the tackle. Geno Smith finished the rest of the game.
    But Rodgers leads the league in frumpy expressions and negative body language on the sideline, which makes him, like Josh Allen, a unique double threat.

    That's not the way they were originally reporting it - story was Vick was pulled and replaced by Smith when they were down 3 (4?) TDs. Just looked now, and they're saying he was hurt, and will start next week if healthy.

    Michael Vick was removed from the game and it appears that was as a result of " a mercy benching " .

    http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap300...-loss-to-bills

    " Geno Smith replaced Vick midway through the third quarter Monday night with the Jets trailing the Bills 31-3 in Detroit (they ended up losing 38-3). Vick came up limping slightly after a bad interception, but he was seen walking on the sideline shortly thereafter. This appeared to be a mercy benching, and it came with good reason.

    Vick completed only 7-of-19 passes for 76 yards with one interception and took seven sacks. Many of the sacks came from Vick holding the ball too long, unaware of where the pressure came from. His box score could have looked even uglier if not for three dropped interceptions by Buffalo. Vick looked out of sorts from the first snap..."

    OK .... the NY Jets have made a decision at QB for their next Home Game Vs the Miami Dolphins in Week 13.

    Geno Smith returns under Center.
