Patriots shock reeling Jets with late touchdown to beat AFC East rival

Aaron Rodgers and the NY Jets face New England in Week 8. James Jones explains why there will be a lot of questions for the organization if the Jets lose this game and fall to 2-6.

The New York Jets may be 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 games in a row, moving to 2-6 while the Patriots own the same record. 

Aaron Rodgers led a fourth-quarter touchdown drive that was capped by a Braelon Allen two-yard rushing score to give the Jets a 22-17 lead that left the Patriots with just under three minutes to respond with a touchdown of their own.

Brissett, who came into this game for the injured rookie Drake Maye, used 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. 

Multiple attempts later, the Patriots were finally able to punch into the end zone on fourth-and-goal from the one-yard line, as Rhamondre Stevenson busted through tacklers to cross the plane.

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

However, after a completion to Davante Adams for 16 yards, he wasn’t able to get out of bounds and the clock timed out for the Patriots’ victory.
