The New England Patriots got their hearts broken in Week 2 just to have it stomped and splattered on the pavement in Week 3.
Thursday's primetime debut of Jerod Mayo's Patriots was a lopsided butt-kicking courtesy of the New York Jets in a 24-3 loss. It was a come-back-down-to-reality performance by the Patriots after their shocking Week 1 upset win over the Cincinnati Bengals.
The offensive line was an absolute disaster for the Patriots on a night where the unit gave up seven sacks and 15 quarterback hits. Meanwhile, the defense looked gassed on a short week after Sunday's 23-20 overtime loss to the Seattle Seahawks.
