NFL’s Red And Green Uniforms Described As ‘Torture’ By Colorblind Fans
It was meant to be a contest of red (the Buffalo Bills) versus green (the NY Jets); but for those who fall under the umbrella diagnosis of color deficiency, last night’s contest was rendered a monotone battle of dark green versus dark green. After the game, Darrelle Revis mentioned that the Jets blew the chances that they were given.
Buffalo Bills’ Bacarri Rambo turned in a career-best performance against the NY Jets causing two fumbles and claiming an interception. “Being down 22-3 is bad”. The turnovers were deadly here, and the passing game never really found a rhythm (Marshall was pretty much nonexistent in the first half).

Those first three turnovers led to the Bills scoring 12 points.
Despite all of this, the Jets had numerous opportunities late in the game and almost pulled off an improbable comeback.
The Jets then put together a solid drive ending on a 14-yard Brandon Marshall TD catch from Ryan Fitzpatrick, making it 22-10 at the end of the third.
This week, the Bills wore bright red uniforms, and the Jets wore their trademark green. Despite the great field position, NY didn’t come away with any points, as Todd Bowles made a decision to go for a touchdown instead of a field goal. “It was very hard”, said Cichocki.
He said: ‘When I looked out there – and it’s tough enough, I spent six years [in New York], I ain’t the smartest cat of all time – but I spent six years coaching in green and white, so you kind of get it that way.
