Patriots win 30-14, but Jarrett Stidham’s pick 6 keeps New England from covering the 21 points. Good teams win, great teams cover.
Patriots:
- Tom Brady: 28/42, 306 yards, 2 touchdowns
- Jarrett Stidham: 2/3, 14 yards, 1 interception
- Sony Michel: 9 carries, 11 yards, 1 touchdown + 1 target, 0 receptions
- Rex Burkhead: 11 carries, 47 yards, 1 touchdown + 7 targets, 6 receptions, 22 yards
- Brandon Bolden: 2 carries, -2 yards + 3 targets, 2 receptions, 21 yards
- Julian Edelman: 10 targets, 7 receptions, 62 yards, 1 touchdown
- Josh Gordon: 11 targets, 6 receptions, 83 yards + 1 carry, 1 yard
- Phillip Dorsett: 7 targets, 6 receptions, 53 yards, 1 touchdown + 2 carries, 12 yards
- Jakobi Meyers: 2 receptions, 38 yards
- Ryan Izzo: 1 reception, 41 yards
The Patriots allowed fewer than 70 pass yards and fewer than 40 rush yards for the first time in the Belichick era. This defense is legit, even though it was the Jets. Stephon Gilmore has been the best corner in the league this year.. and it isn’t even close. McCourty has 3 interceptions this season. Tom Brady has won 12 games in a row at home against the Jets. The Drew Brees injury allowed Brady to pass Brees for the 2nd-most TDs all-time. The Pats have the easiest schedule I have ever seen for a Super Bowl Champ.. The Chiefs look like their only competition for the Super Bowl through 3 weeks.. but that can change.
Jets:
- Luke Falk: 12/22, 98 yards, 1 interception
- Le’Veon Bell: 18 carries, 35 yards + 4 targets, 4 receptions, 28 yards
- Ty Montgomery: 2 carries, 1 yard + 1 target, 0 receptions
- Robby Anderson: 5 targets, 3 receptions, 11 yards
- Jamison Crowder: 5 targets, 2 receptions, 25 yards
- Braxton Berrios: 6 targets, 2 receptions, 29 yards
Le’Veon Bell had 63 scrimmage yards, the fewest for him since Week 1, 2017. That’ll happen when Luke Falk is your QB and your o-line is the Jets 2019 o-line. I mean I am not going to waste too much time on the Jets. They will be better with Sam Darnold and CJ Mosley after their BYE this week.
