NEW YORK (AP) – There’s no quarterback controversy for the New York Jets. Not even close. OK, well, not yet.

Geno Smith led the Jets to a field goal in his two series with the starters in a 13-10 victory over the Indianapolis Colts. Michael Vick created a bit of a buzz by leading a touchdown drive with the first-team offense and showing he can still make plays with his legs.

While the Jets maintain the two are competing to be the starter, it has been clear it’s Smith’s job to lose – and he did nothing to downgrade his spot on the depth chart.

Despite solid but unspectacular performances, coach Rex Ryan says he was “really pleased” with both Smith and Vick.
