EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. - Mark Sanchez completed a 48-yard pass to David Clowney on his first NFL play, and the Jets rookie engineered an early scoring drive in New York's 23-20 loss to the St. Louis Rams on Friday night.
Thomas Jones' 1-yard touchdown dive capped Sanchez's only series of the night, but the Rams rallied in the fourth quarter to make a winner of Steve Spagnuolo in his head coaching debut.
Sanchez, selected with the fifth overall pick, came in to a loud ovation with 28 seconds left in the first quarter. He took the snap and lofted a pretty pass down the right sideline into Clowney's hands for a big gain.
Sanchez, with several family members in attendance, completed three of four passes for 88 yards in Rex Ryan's first game as the Jets' head coach.
