It was a tough, physical game from the start, just what you'd expect from division rivals - no matter the records of the two teams. The Patriots dearly missed the Veterans - Mayo and Ridley and it showed. They couldn't stop the run and the Jets piled up over 200 Yards on the ground. However, Tom Brady proved just a bit too much for the Jets D, throwing for three touchdowns, including a late score to Amendola that proved to be the game winner. The Jets tried to mount a late comeback, but the game-winning FG attempt was blocked by Chris Jones, securing the Patriots victory.
The Patriots take on the Bears next, after having a few days extra to rest and try to find ways to stop the run with Mayo out for the season. The injury bug has once again struck the Pats.
