The reigning Super Bowl champs and the colts who were the runner up the year before started this season off. The jets with a new coach having traded their old coach to the lions were looking for a hot start. The colts would lose Hines on their second series of the game for 8 weeks. Causing the offense to go to the new acquired Foreman as the go to RB. Needless to say the running game struggled mightily with the loss of Hines and the new pieces of the OL. Harmon would look solid in the loss 24/39 for 305 yards and 1interception. The issue was the fumbles. The colts couldn't hold onto the ball and the jets made just enough plays to escape with a win 27-15
