Studs and duds in Patriots’ season finale loss to Jets

Who were the studs and duds in the Patriots’ season finale?

The New England Patriots rumbled with the New York Jets in a snowstorm on Sunday and came out on the losing end.

When the last whistle sounded, it signaled an end to a disappointing 2023 season for a Patriots team that only won four games. It’s a long drop-off from the perennial Super Bowl contender that was once viewed as the NFL’s gold standard.

Now, they’re a broken team that could be looking to fire their legendary head coach, Bill Belichick, in the offseason.

The offense couldn’t get anything going against the Jets on Sunday, but honestly, no one expected them to light up the scoreboard considering the weather conditions. It was an ugly back-and-forth, defensive battle before the Jets broke the game wide open in the fourth quarter.
