It Just Got Worse
WEEK THREE
New York Jets 14
New England Patriots 30
FINAL
GAME THREE REACTION
Mayday! Mayday!!
First a tip of the cap to the defense and special teams for generating a touchdown each and making this a somewhat more digestible 16-point game. At least they covered the spread, right?
Otherwise the Jets allow four touchdowns, and the Patriots run the ball far more effectively than their 68 rushing yards may lead people to believe. The Jets manage just one sack and only four other QB hits during an unfavorable 34:14 minutes of field time.
As for the other side of the ball, you can be aghast at what you saw Sunday but by no means should you be taken aback.
Who didn't see this coming?
Third string Luke Falk is under duress all day. He goes 12/22 for 98 yards, with one INT. New England sacks him five times, and get in another ten QB hits. The Patriots also limit Le'Veon Bell to a mere 35 yards rushing on 18 carries, while Braxton Berrios leads the Jets with only 29 yards receiving. The Jets generate an inconsequential 105 total yards and average an amateurish 2.2 yards per play. They achieve six first downs all game, and are 0-12 on third down conversions.
Adam Gase's bruised, beaten, and embattled Jets begin the season with three straight losses.
On to the City of Brotherly Love ...
