Ugly-schmugly... Patriots have a win, baby! No matter how much of a downer the 2022 season was for Pats fans, we always had the Jets. It’s nice to know the tradition continues. Sunday’s matchup showed a little more life than last November’s 10-3 slog. While I don’t want to paint this as an old-school classic defensive game, I adore this Patriots defense. Kyle Dugger and Jabrill Peppers are hard-hitting beasts. Matt Judon, Keion White, Christian Barmore, amazing. When I re-watch this game, those are the guys I’m excited about watching more closely. JuJu Smith-Schuster? Not so much.
Mac Jones seemed to have a little more time to throw, so credit to the coaching staff for rearranging the deck chairs.
