The New York Jets intercepted Luke McCown four times and sacked him in the end zone for a safety en route to a 32-3 victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday.
Antonio Cromartie returned one of his two interceptions to the 1-yard line and Shonn Greene punched it in two plays later for New York’s first rushing touchdown of the season.
The Jets (2-0) scored 15 points off turnovers and Mark Sanchez threw a pair of touchdown passes in the game. Sanchez hit Santonio Holmes on a 17-yarder to open the scoring early in the first quarter.
Sanchez later connected with tight end Dustin Keller for an 11-yard score in the third quarter as New York extended the lead to 22-3 in the third quarter.
Making just his ninth NFL career start, McCown was pulled early in the fourth quarter after hitting just 6 of 19 passes for 59 yards. He finished with a passing rating of 1.8.
Rookie Blaine Gabbert replaced McCown and was 5 for 6 passing for 52 yards.
Maurice Jones-Drew led Jacksonville (1-1) with 88 yards on the ground on 18 carries. Jacksonville managed just a 55-yard field goal by Josh Scobee in the first quarter.
