EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- Blake Bortles led the Jacksonville Jaguars on two scoring drives, the second capped by Chris Ivorys 1-yard run against his former team, in a 17-13 loss to the New York Jets in the preseason opener for both teams Thursday night.Bortles finished 6 of 7 for 105 yards in his two series, Allen Robinson caught three passes for 80 yards and the Jaguars (0-1) took a quick 10-0 lead with their starters in the game. Ivory, who signed with Jacksonville as a free agent after three seasons in New York, capped the second drive with his TD.Jacksonville has been focusing on starting faster this season after scoring just 35 points in the first quarter last season, which ranked the Jaguars 31st in the NFL.Ryan Fitzpatrick, who re-signed with the Jets just before training camp after a long contract stalemate, also went two series with the starters and was 3 of 4 for 72 yards. Bilal Powell capped the second drive, which included catches of 26 and 43 yards by Quincy Enunwa, with a 4-yard touchdown run.Geno Smith replaced Fitzpatrick with 9:49 left in the second half on the one-year anniversary of the punch that changed the Jets season -- and possibly Smiths career. The former starting quarterback had his jaw broken by a punch from then-teammate IK Enemkpali in the locker room, sidelining Smith and pushing Fitzpatrick into the job. Fitzpatrick went on to set a franchise record with 31 touchdown passes while leading the Jets to a 10-6 mark and within a victory of the playoffs.Smith finished 8 of 14 for 79 yards, including a 17-yard TD pass to seventh-rounder Charone Peake that gave the Jets a 14-13 lead with 22 seconds left in the opening half. He was also booed a few times by the MetLife Stadium crowd when he went three-and-out in his first two possessions.Several starters for both teams sat out, including the Jets Darrelle Revis, Muhammad Wilkerson, Matt Forte and Steve McLendon; and the Jaguars Jalen Ramsey, Tashaun Gipson, Brandon Linder and Kelvin Beachum.QB COMPARISONJaguars: Backup Chad Henne was 8 of 9 for 94 yards in four possessions to finish the second half.Jets: Bryce Petty, a fourth-rounder last year, is competing with rookie Christian Hackenberg, a second-rounder this year, for the No. 3 job and finished 7 of 14 for 93 yards.

He had a 36-yard catch in the second quarter. ... RB Denard Robinson, trying to win a spot behind Ivory and T.J. Yeldon, had seven carries for 23 yards and a 4-yard catch. Jonas Gray, Robinsons primary competition, did not travel with an injury.Jets: Rookie K Ross Martin, trying to unseat Nick Folk, missed a 39-yard field goal and a 54-yarder after making a 23-yarder. Folk made both of his extra-point attempts. ... Veteran Jeremy Ross and undrafted rookie Jalin Marshall had big kickoff returns. Ross had a 51-yarder in the first quarter, while Marshall had an 84-yarder near the end of the first half that set up a touchdown.STEAMYThe temperature at kickoff was a toasty 94 degrees, with the heat index making it feel like 98.INJURY UPDATEJaguars: CB Aaron Colvin sprained his right ankle in the third quarter and did not return. S James Sample left in the second half with a right arm stinger.Jets: RB Dominique Williams suffered a concussion during a 10-yard run to open the third quarter.QUOTABLEJaguars: Yeah, I thought it was good, Bortles said of the fast start. We want to come out and be sharp with our operation in and out of the huddle, no mental errors, lining up correctly, shifts and motions, and all that. And, obviously take care of the ball. I thought, for the most part, it was good.Jets: I had a lot of fun, said a smiling Lee, who had four total tackles, two for loss, and a sack in his NFL debut after being the 20th overall pick out of Ohio State.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL Twitter feed: http://twitter.com/AP-NFL Nike Air Max Wholesale Uk .

Daniel Ricciardo says this weekends Italian Grand Prix has underlined Mercedes big strengths after the reigning world champions dominated qualifying at Monza.Lewis Hamiltons pole position time was 0.837s quicker than the nearest non-Mercedes competitor on Saturday afternoon, with Ricciardos Red Bull 1.254s off Hamilton in sixth. Compared to the 0.149s margin Nico Rosberg had over Max Verstappen in Spa-Francorchamps last weekend, it is proof the gap between Mercedes and the rest of the field has increased significantly on arrival in Monza.The high-speed Italian track is always a trade-off between downforce and drag, with teams bringing slimmer rear wings to maximise top speeds on the straights, but Ricciardo says Mercedes powerful engine means they can enjoy the best of both worlds.This weekend they have definitely shown their strengths again, he said. It looks like Mercedes have a pretty decent sized rear wing as well. It seems that when they want they can sort of turn it up. Then again here last year as well I remember Mercedes were on another planet. For whatever reason we expected to probably be a bit down here.dddddddddddd. Perhaps we have a bit more drag on the car as well, so maybe that is another element that hurts us here.Coming back to Singapore [in two weeks] I think we will be competitive again, and I still think relatively perhaps straight line speeds are not too bad, but the question is are we using less downforce than them which then masks it a little bit. If we can get top five here we will walk away pretty happy.Rather than battling Mercedes, Ricciardo has his sights on Williams Valtteri Bottas in fifth place on the grid instead.I think theyll be a contender tomorrow, Valtteris long run yesterday looked quite good, I believe he had a new soft, but his pace seemed pretty good. I think theyll remain strong in the race, especially with their straight line speed, theyll put up a fight. Massa I think is outside the top 10, so hell probably start on a soft and that could bring him into the race as well, so theyll be pretty strong. ' ' '
