Revis is a first-ballot Hall of Famer. Its my honor going against him.

The Bengals took the lead in the third quarter when Hill bulldozed his way up the middle for a 12-yard TD run. The drive was aided by Brandon LaFells 49-yard catch over Marcus Williams on third-and-18.The Jets drove to the Bengals 1 on their next possession, but stalled, leaving it to Folk to kick a 20-yard field goal to make it 20-19. After Nugent, a former Jet, was wide right on a 52-yard attempt, the Jets drove down the field and went ahead on Folks go-ahead 23-yarder.Fitzpatrick finished 19 of 35 for 189 yards and touchdown passes to Quincy Enunwa and Eric Decker. The Jets were hurt by drives sputtering in the red zone and having to settle for field-goal attempts rather than touchdowns.We had our opportunities, Fitzpatrick said. We were winning in the fourth quarter and we just couldnt shut the door.PREGAME TRIBUTEThe Jets held a pregame tribute for the families and victims of the Sept. 11 attacks.Bengals linebacker Rey Maualuga led the entire team out of tunnel carrying the American flag.
