Jets quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick struggled against the Bills last year, but he’s been picking the Bills apart tonight.

The Jets lead, 20-7, in the second quarter after Fitzpatrick hit Eric Decker on a 5-yard touchdown pass.

That capped a seven-play, 77-yard scoring drive. The Jets have scored all four times they’ve had the ball.

Jets wide receiver Brandon Marshall had a big catch on the scoring drive after returning from the locker room, where he had his knee examined. He appears to be fine, and the Jets are having their way.

Twenty-five minutes in, Fitzpatrick is 12-of-17 passing for 211 yards. Quincy Enunwa has five catches for 90 yards and Marshall has three for 73.
