Defense and special teams stole the show once again for the New England Patriots in Sunday’s monumental divisional win over the visiting New York Jets.
The Patriots defense continued to terrorize Jets quarterback Zach Wilson on the field, while rookie third-round draft pick Marcus Jones wore the red cape and scored the 84-yard game-winning touchdown on a punt return.
There was nothing easy about the game for the Patriots. The offense was held to only three points, and the team lost two starting offensive linemen. However, they managed to come away with a victory to stay alive in the AFC playoff picture.
Every week presents a new challenge. So the Patriots will celebrate the win, take what they learned from the Jets and use it in hopes of having a better outing on Thanksgiving night against the Minnesota Vikings.
Here are the winners and losers from the Jets game.
