Patriots show signs of life at the expense of dysfunctional Jets

Slide on over, Iron Bowl. Jets-Patriots II in 2024 will be remembered as The Irony Bowl.

In a game between one team at the bottom of the Pit of Despair and another sliding fast down the misery-soaked sides of it, the weirdness was stacked deep.

On the Patriots side, you had Jacoby Brissett -- benched three weeks ago in large part for non-aggression (which was what the team kind of asked him to do) -- delivering big-time throws in crunch time.

He hit on enough of them to set up a dramatic, in-by-inches, buzzer-beating touchdown for Rhamondre Stevenson.
