A New Jersey man arrested on Sunday for driving while intoxicated blamed his inebriation on the New York Jets' poor performance against the Buffalo Bills, police say.

Police in Wayne, N.J. responded to a car accident around 5:15 p.m. local time, according to NBC New York. Once the officers arrived, 57-year-old Christopher J. Greyshock approached them, allegedly saying he rear-ended another vehicle that was stopped in front of him.

Police reported noticing a "heavy odor" of alcohol on Greyshock's breath and "stains of liquid" on his clothing.

While performing a field sobriety test, Greyshock allegedly told police, "I drank too much because the Jets suck!"

In addition to DWI, Greyshock is facing charges of assault by auto, possession of marijuana, possession of drug paraphernalia, reckless driving, and having an open container of alcohol in the motor vehicle.
