Patriots shock Jets with late touchdown to beat AFC East rival

The Jets from New York may have been close to rock bottom as the New England Patriots shocked them with a 25-22 victory thanks to a last-second touchdown drive led by Jacoby Brissett.

The Jets have now lost five straight games and moved to 2-6 the Patriots holds the same record.

Aaron Rodgers led a fourth-quarter touchdown drive that was capped by a Braelon Allen rushing score from two yards, giving the Jets a 22–17 lead, giving the Patriots just under three minutes to respond with a touchdown of his own.

Brissett, who came into this game for the injured rookie Drake Mayeused that time to perfection. The biggest play came on third-and-10 from the Jets’ 43-yard line, where Brissett hit Kayshon Boutte for a 34-yard gain that put the Patriots in the red zone.

Several attempts later, the Patriots were finally able to penetrate the end zone on fourth down from the one-yard line, as Rhamondre Stevenson charged through tacklers to cross the plane.

PATRIOTS’ DRAKE MAYE LEAVES GAME AFTER HELM-TO-HELM HIT AT RUNNING GAME

A shocked Jets team had no timeouts, as Rodgers attempted to get within field goal range to give the team a chance at overtime.

However, on a completion to Davante Adams for 16 yards, he was unable to get out of bounds and the clock ran out for the Patriots’ victory.

Kicking for the Jets was another brutal storyline in this game as Greg Zuerlein missed a field goal and also missed an extra point. Zuerlein also struggled in the Jets’ loss to the Buffalo Bills two weeks ago, so it’s likely GM Joe Douglas will have to rethink his kicker position moving forward.

Rodgers went 17-for-28 for 233 yards with two passing touchdowns, finding Tyler Conklin and Xavier Gipson for the scores.

For the Patriots, Brissett went 15-for-24 for 132 yards after coming in for Maye, but it was Stevenson who found the end zone twice despite rushing for just 48 yards on 20 carries.
