The New York Jets asserted their dominance from the start, cruising to a 24-3 victory over the New England Patriots at MetLife Stadium. Aaron Rodgers was in top form, completing 27 of 35 passes for 281 yards and two touchdowns, as he led an efficient offensive attack that saw contributions from a variety of players. This marked Rodgers’ first game back at MetLife Stadium since tearing his Achilles last September, making the performance all the more remarkable.
Despite facing a Patriots defense known for its stout run defense, the Jets managed to amass over 130 yards on the ground. Breece Hall added a rushing touchdown, capitalizing on a strong showing from the offensive line. The Jets' defense was equally impressive, recording six sacks and shutting down any attempts by the Patriots to reach the end zone. New England’s offense, hampered by sacks and penalties, could only muster a single field goal by Joey Slye. The game also featured the NFL debut of Patriots' first-round pick quarterback, Drake Maye, in the final minutes, though he struggled to make an impact. With the win, the Jets move to 2-1 on the season, while the Patriots fall to 1-2.
