Patriots OC Alex Van Pelt regrets game plan in loss to Jets

New England Patriots offensive coordinator Alex Van Pelt is looking back on his game plan in the team’s 24-3 loss to the New York Jets on Thursday with regret.

When speaking with media members on Monday, Van Pelt admitted the team should have run the ball more earlier in the game.

The Patriots seemingly went away from the rushing attack for the majority of the game. They only had 15 total carries for 78 yards. There was some efficiency there, as they averaged 5.2 yards per carry. Antonio Gibson led the team with only five carries for 28 yards on the evening.
