From Super Bowl champ to this â€” how does Harvin like the Jets?

It only took one game for Percy Harvin to find out what it means to be a Jet.

Less than nine months ago, Harvin was racing down the field at MetLife Stadium, opening the second half of Seattle's Super Bowl stampede with a kick return for a touchdown, but Sunday he learned what it's like to be on the other end of embarrassment as the Jets were humiliated in a 43-23 loss to the Bills in his debut.

Harvin was a member of the defending champions just two weeks ago. On Monday, he'll wake up with a seven-game losing streak, two untrustworthy quarterbacks and no real reason to believe things are going to get any better.

But after being traded, reportedly because of trouble in the Seattle locker room, the 26-year-old said he is still happy to be in his new surroundings.

"I love being here in New York, I love the fan base, I love my teammates," Harvin said. "I'm just looking forward to turning this thing around and I think we're gonna have fun when we do."

With Harvin having practiced with the Jets for less than a week, it was unclear how much playing time he would get in his first game, but Rex Ryan opted to make the receiver a focal point immediately.

In addition to returning six kickoffs — for an average of 24 yards — Harvin was targeted nine times as a receiver, making three catches for 22 yards, while adding 28 rushing yards on four carries.

While the team hoped Harvin's addition would benefit the development of Geno Smith, the second-year quarterback had a career-worst game, throwing three interceptions and only two completions. Playing primarily as an outside receiver for the first time since high school, Harvin wasn't able to help, but Jerry Rice likely would have been equally ineffective with the Jets' quarterback play.

"All things considered, I thought Percy really played well," Ryan said. "That's not an easy task. We were going to play him more obviously than we had let on. It's a huge challenge to a guy to come into a new team. I thought he did a great job. Obviously, this guy is a big-time playmaker. I'm happy he's on our team."

Ryan acknowledged, though, that other elements of the offense may have been disrupted by the team's insistence to get Harvin involved, most evident on Smith's first interception in the first quarter, when he forced a deep throw to the blanketed receiver down the field.

"I guess, maybe, but we were trying to get our best players on the field and he's certainly one of them," Ryan said.

Harvin, who briefly left the game to be tested for a concussion but was cleared to return, said he felt comfortable with the playbook and was pleased with his performance.

Harvin said he believes his performance — and his new team's — will improve, even if Sunday showed him Seattle is a lot farther than just 2,853 miles.

"I fit in pretty well," Harvin said. "There's just little things we got to clean up. Only thing you can do now is keep working. … A lot of it is just gonna come from effort, not wanting to quit."
