The sloppy play persisted as the Patriots missed tackle after tackle. Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers carved up New England’s defense, finding open receiver after open receiver. The final score of 24-3 doesn’t even reflect the lopsided nature of the game.

The media could not be loaded, either because the server or network failed or because the format is not supported.

These are not the Tom Brady and Bill Belichick Patriots — not even close — but you can’t take away what Jeff Ulbrich’s defense and Aaron Whitecotton’s defensive line did in this game. The Jets were a step (at least) quicker than the Patriots and had Jacoby Brissett bracing to be hit for most of the game.
