The QB had 233 yards and two TDs in the 25-22 loss.
The Pats are widely viewed as one of the worst teams in the league and lost their best offensive player in rookie quarterback Drake Maye to a head injury in the first half. Losing to that roster is bad enough on its own for New York, and even worse when considering how badly Gang Green needed this win.. Aaron Rodgers, who threw for 233 yards and a pair of touchdowns on the day, had a very blunt quote about the defeat when speaking to reporters after the game.
The Jets didn't turn the ball over but they did commit eight penalties for 55 yards and gave up a huge punt return to set up the Patriots for their third and final touchdown on the day. In other words, there were not a ton of self-inflicted wounds but just enough to seal their fate. The loss will make this week a long one for the Jets, who are now tied with New England for last in the AFC East.Liam McKeone is a senior writer for the Breaking and Trending News team at Sports Illustrated.
