FOXBORO, Mass. — Robert Saleh’s coaching mantra is “All Gas, No Brake.” It’s been printed on T-shirts and featured in hype videos since he took over the New York Jets this past offseason.
The New England Patriots followed those instructions Sunday, keeping the metaphorical pedal pressed to the floor as they decimated Saleh’s Jets 54-13 at Gillette Stadium.
Despite leading by 24 points at halftime and 28 early in the fourth quarter, the Patriots continued to attack offensively until the game’s final minutes. Their final two legitimate possessions featured a 46-yard bomb from Mac Jones to Kendrick Bourne and completions of 22, 29 and 28 yards from backup quarterback Brian Hoyer to Gunner Olszewski, Jakob Johnson and N’Keal Harry, respectively.
