Tim Tebow picked up some yards by running around a few times. Other than that, there wasn’t much in his Jets debut. Certainly nothing to spark any mania back in New York. And that goes for the Jets‘ new offense as a whole.
Tebow had his best moments while scrambling behind reserves on the Jets‘ line Friday night. He completed only four passes and threw an interception on his final try during the Cincinnati Bengals‘ 17-6 preseason victory.
The Jets let their celebrated newcomer play the second quarter and most of the third. He led the Jets to a field goal and completed 4 of 8 passes for 27 yards with one interception, which translated to a passer rating of 18.2.
The Bengals got a lot of pressure on Tebow and the rest of the Jets quarterbacks, giving them little time to do much of anything except scramble.
“I did some things pretty good,” Tebow said. “Obviously I want that last throw back. I tried to put it low and outside. Just a stupid play by me.”
Tebow also ran three times for 34 yards, avoiding sacks each time.
