After their bye week, the Patriots (7-3) are in the Meadowlands Sunday to take on the New York Jets for the first time this season at MetLife Stadium. History and statistics are on the Patriots’ side today — they’re 13-5 after a bye week in the Bill Belichick era. In Week 10, the Patriots’ 34-10 loss to the Titans was New England’s worst loss since its debacle against the Chiefs on Monday Night Football in Week 4 of 2014.
The Jets (3-7) were also on a bye last week. They’ve lost their last four games, including a 41-10 drubbing by the Bills in Week 10.
