Patriots wide receiver Josh Gordon hauled in each of his targets against the New York Jets to collect a team-high five catches Sunday afternoon at MetLife Stadium.
Gordon’s receptions totaled 70 yards of offense for the Patriots, who topped the Jets, 27-13, and improved to 8-3. New England’s rushing corps posted a season-high 215 yards on 36 carries, which Gordon said opened the game up for the rest of the team. Eight Patriots recorded at least one reception.
