KEY STATS:
THEY SAID IT:
Raiders S Charles Woodson
"I can’t sit here and say I’m not human because it is difficult. When you have those struggles and you come out and, the first quarter and first half, you have an interception near the 50-yard line and you kind of start to think about those things, all of those mistakes in the past.”
Jets QB Geno Smith
"We worked too hard to have the outcome be like this. We need 'Ws.' This game is about winning, It's about production. Stats don't matter. The numbers don't matter unless you win and we didn't do it."
