the past two games the defense has allowed six points total, and Jets QBs today completed just 8 of 24 passes for 136 yards with three interceptions.
Brady completed 17 of 27 passes for 214 yards and three touchdowns in just three quarters before Jimmy Garoppolo got some needed live reps. The game was never in doubt, with the Patriots up 27-0 at halftime. In SOJ fashion Bryce Petty injured his shoulder attempting to make a tackle after a Jet fumble.
The Patriots will want to naturally put the ball in Petty’s hands and force him to beat them. Hightower will be a big part of the defense in that aspect.
Opposing QBs have a passer rating of 100.2 against the Jets this season. Look for Brady to continue that trend on Saturday.
They overpaid a bunch of veterans with the “win-now” approach attempting to re-ignite the fan base and put the new coach in a favorable position.

After the Rams game at home this week, a game the Patriots should win, is when the crucible of this season’s schedule begins.
In this episode we discussed the latest victory for the Patriots against the Jets and preview the next game against the Rams. We also talked about the re-signing of Marcus Cannon by the Patriots. We also asked the question, what is a quality win for the Patriots?
After two weeks on the road the Pats return home to Foxborough to take on the Los Angeles Rams. For those of you that will not be at Gillette Stadium the game will be on FOX rather than CBS, announced by Kevin Burhardt and John Lynch. After too many games with Ian Eagle and Dan Fouts this will be a treat. We rarely hear Lynch since he works for FOX and does NFC games.
Due to the tiebreakers, and a win over a conference foe, the Patriots are back as the #1 seed since Oakland beat an NFC foe yesterday (Carolina).
