For Mac The season had started out frustratingly for Jones and the New England Patriots, as they were unable to win their opening two games.Looking at an uncommon 0-3 for the proud team, they naturally improved quickly — against a well-known opponent, that is.Matt Judon scored a late safety, Jones completed a touchdown pass to Pharaoh Brown, and the Patriots’ win run over the New York Jets reached 15 games with a dismal 15-10 triumph on a soggy Sunday.
Jones remarked, “We made plays when we had to.” Without a doubt, uneven. With the victory, one must be delighted. We came here just for that.
Bill Belichick’s team continued to dominate its AFC East rivals while avoiding its first 0-3 start since the coach’s debut season in New England in 2000.
Replaced by the injured Aaron Rodgers for his second start, Zach Wilson was unable to muster much beyond a strong fourth-quarter possession that allowed the Jets (1-2) to reclaim the lead.
With five minutes remaining, Nick Bawden made it 13-10 with a 1-yard touchdown run up the middle to conclude New York’s 13-play, 87-yard drive.
Wilson ran for a first down on a third-and-10 from the Jets’ own 10, but rookie guard Joe Tippmann’s holding call negated the play. The Jets had made a defensive stop. After that play, Wilson was tackled by Judon in the end zone, making the score 15–10.
Judon stated, “They kind of got them life when they started moving the ball.” We truly required that. Getting it and some points for myself was satisfying.
with 1:43 remaining, the Jets regained possession of the ball but were unable to score. Wilson found Tyler Conklin with a 1-yard pass on fourth-and-10, giving the Jets a turnover on downs and inciting jeers from the remaining wet and rainy MetLife Stadium supporters.
16 seconds remained, and New York had one more opportunity. To get the ball on the Jets 46, Wilson found Garrett Wilson for a 29-yard gain. With one second remaining, Zach Wilson spiked the ball to stop the clock. He then attempted a Hail Mary that made it to the end zone, bounced a couple times, and finally fell just past Randall Cobb’s diving hands.Zach Wilson stated, “We all need to figure out how to improve.” “And the rest, I believe, will sort itself out.”
Due to the intense rain that passed through the area and caused some of the paint on the Jets logos in the end zones to smear with player footprints during pregame warmups, there was a lot of slipping early in the game.Never was New York able to establish itself.
The Patriots record for the most straight victories over an opponent was tied with the Jets victory. In 15 straight games between 2003 and 2010, New England defeated Buffalo.With a 48-yard field goal to give the Patriots a 3-0 lead, Chad Ryland concluded the first offensive series. A second 48-yard try by Ryland was missed early in the second quarter.
The Patriots led 10-0 with 11:38 remaining in the first half after Jones lofted a throw to a wide-open Brown, who raced downfield for a 58-yard touchdown on New England’s following play.The Jets took the lead with a 52-yard field goal from Greg Zuerlein, who was sidelined due to a groyne injury last week.Ryland failed to convert a high snap for 57 yards as the Patriots attempted to extend their lead soon before halftime. However, on New England’s opening drive of the second half, Ryland struck for a 51-yard touchdown to turn the tide.
Jones gained 201 yards on 15 of 29 completions. On 16 carries, Ezekiel Elliott gained 80 yards of total yardage, while Rhamondre Stevenson gained 59 yards on 19 carries. On an otherwise messy day, the Patriots played clean football.No turnovers was our aim, according to Jones. “We most certainly did that.”After going 1 for 10 on third downs in their previous game against Dallas, Zach Wilson led the Jets with 18 of 36 passes for 157 yards.
Coach Robert Saleh remarked of the offence, “Obviously, that’s not good enough overall.” We were unable to run the ball on third downs, you know. In terms of how we play, it would be beneficial if we could support Wilson. However, the players’ performance from the coaching was simply inadequate overall.
